Track 33 was not originally listed here but reported later. No data for this track.
Tracks 12, 19 & 24-25 ended up on official albums ("What Kind of Girl?" on Broadway the Hard Way was edited together from this version and a March 1 recording), but of course these mixes sound a little different.

The cover shows Zappa in an Uncle Sam outfit, holding a giant pen or pencil. (A similar picture can be seen on page 98 of Miles' book A Visual Documentary.) Back cover has liner notes and two pictures of Zappa, one holding and one playing guitar. It also says: "If you like this great music, you will love The Untouchables (Showtime Records 002)" and "Special thanks to Jesse Belvin and John[n?]y Otis [!], owners of Showtime Records, for their faith in Frank Zappa and his music".

I've got this from Zappateers, thanks to MrUMRK and SP, so all props go to them! The only thing I did was fix the SBE's because the original flac files weren't cut on sector boundaries, so the full lineage of this now is:

Vinyl LP>Linn LP12>Naim Pre-Amp NAC 82>output 8~MAudio USB>SF8 vol adj only>flac front end>TLH (align on sector boundaries)>Flac>foobar2000(tags).

Original artwork, text and ffp file are all included.
