Shortly before the CD release, Zappa released a two-LP sampler of the series with similar artwork to the volume 1 CD.[2] The liner notes to the second volume included some corrections to the date information of the first volume that Zappa received from fans, and further corrections and additions have come since then using available recordings.[3]
