Uncle Meat

~ Release by The Mothers of Invention (see all versions of this release, 13 available)

Annotation

remastered issue
"For best sonics (the original edit master for Uncle Meat unfortunately in sections suffers from oxide loss due to tape age and bad storage conditions), a new hi-res digital patchwork edit master was created in 2013 with all damaged sections restored from safeties in The Vault"
- Joe Travers
