    I have this pressing but there is a block shaped S in matrix on all sides, everything else match with the cover, the matrix and labels layout. Great sound on this press

      I don’t know how but I have 2 of these albums that are perfect. I guess my sisters didn’t care for Zappa so they never got played. That’s fine by me because I play them all the time. Love Zappa
