Product Description Contents: [SHM-CD specification, Japan edition only] This 1CD edition features a selection of highlights from the Palladium concert on October 31, 1978, considered the pinnacle of Zappa's annual Halloween events!

This package condenses the highlights selected from that legendary stage onto one CD. The recorded audio was mixed and mastered from the original 24-track analog tapes, with mixing by Craig Parker Adams (Winslow Connecticut Studios) and mastering by John Polito (Audio Mechanics). The English booklet includes liner notes and technical notes by Joe Travers, manager of the Zappa family's tape archives, as well as rare photographs taken by photographer Lynn Goldsmith.
