"In some of the albums," adds Travers, "you could restore from safeties. In the case of Money, the original two-track final master was damaged, but the multitracks were not, and that's why, when he went to the multitracks and remixed it, he was embracing the new technology." Travers says that Zappa did make the original stereo mix of Money available on CD, which is what Ryko offers. The '84 remix has been out of print, but, Travers says, it will also be included in the forthcoming anniversary reissue. "You'll have the mono — which is actually a DiscReet [Records] mono mix (which is different) — the '84 mix of Money, and the unreleased '84 remix of Lumpy Gravy that no one has ever heard." Text in bold was the little nugget that grabbed my attention. --Milhouse
