I am unacquainted with the term silent remaster - is that a standard term in studio technique? If not, could the use be replaced with an elaboration of what is meant instead of the uncommon term?

(the fact that a google search yields this page as the top hit inclines me to think it is a neologism, or a term only rarely used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.103.224.57 (talk) 01:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The term "silent remaster" refers to the fact the album was re-mastered and released into the marketplace to replace the previous version without any announcement nor any indication on the packaging regarding the use of the new and corrected master for the disc. "One Size Fits All" and "Apostrophe" also got "silent remaster" treatment in that they were both issued in regular CD editions that utilized the master for Rykodisc's Au20 gold CD editions without any announcement or other indication regarding the switch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.167.47.112 (talk) 23:48, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted the line Many of the tracks on the album are processed live tracks that sound like they were recorded in a studio. Almost all of the album was recorded in the studio. Only "Conehead", "Sinister Footwear, 3rd Mvt." and "Dumb All Over" feature any material taken from live tapes (guitar solos in all three cases, and most of the vocals on "Conehead".)

lol Steve Vai - Strat abuse. wtf? - that's how he's credited in the liner notes. many of the credits on FZ albums are very humorous. such as "bear maul victim" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.177.63.125 (talk) 01:35, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

You Are What You Is and I Don't Wanna Get Drafted[edit]

I propose articles to be made for these songs. "You Are What You Is" mainly because of the music video that was made to be banned because Zappa was forced to make one. "I Don't Wanna Get Drafted" because it was a single that charted at 103 on the American charts and 73 on German charts... and 3 on Swedish charts (though sadly I hardly see Swedish charts being important for America's wikipedia...) but it still charted and it was a single. --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 20:59, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They would both warrant articles in my opinion.

Well I made both: "I Don't Wanna Get Drafted" "You Are What You Is (song)" if anyone has any additional information on these two songs feel free to add to them. --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 18:36, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good. I'm glad we're finally getting articles for the singles themselves. Friginator (talk) 23:32, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

I noticed a number of references using the url to a Google Book link. I though editors might be interested in a tool which takes a link as input and creates a (usually) properly formatted ref.

Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books

I used it to improve two such references.

It really helps creates a much cleaner list of references. I hope you will try it. S Philbrick (Talk) 14:30, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You Are What You Is Vandalism[edit]

The preview for the page still shows old vandalism and has done for quite some time. How do we remove this?
