On the inner sleeve of Frank Zappa's recent record, "Ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch" (this is the one with Valley Girl) is the following note: "This album has been engineered to sound correct on JBL 4311 speakers or an equivalent. Best results will be achieved if you set your pre-amp tone controls to the flat position with the loudness control in the off position. Before adding any treble or bass to the sound of the album, it would be advisable to check it out this way first. -- F. Z." Well, there's one musician who doesn't hesitate to let the listener know what kind of sound he has in mind.
