[edit] Overdubs

I'm not sure how to go about re-writing some of the language in the article, but while nearly all of the basic tracks for the album were recorded live ("I'm So Cute" was even recorded during a soundcheck and not during an actual concert), the album contains quite a few overdubs on nearly every track (most notably the insane amount of Syndrum stuff on a lot of the songs, but also a lot of vocals and some guitar). It's probably Zappa's most heavily doctored "live album" and I think this should be reflected in the article. Manufactured to Comply 13:35, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

The last paragraph of the main article is the problem. It closes with the statement "aside from some overdubs, these are the only exceptions." Clearly, there were lots of overdubs. While the kernels of most of the compositions may be live, he wrapped enough techno-spiffiness around each of them for the whole enchilada to be considered a studio album.

[edit] Peter Wolf

It should be noted that the Peter Wolf in Zappa's band is not the one of J. Geils fame. 72.79.207.149 23:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1995 release date erroneous

It was released on March 3, 1979 (see 1979 in music) and re-issued on compact disc on May 9, 1995 (see 1995 in music).
Not so. I owned a Sheik Yerbouti CD in 1990 bought from Columbia House. -Rolypolyman (talk) 09:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
