^ Original vinyl mix of Hot Rats? Wow.

Waka/JaWaka and The Grand Wazoo seem worth getting as it seems the overall sound is better, the horns sound fuller and the added reverb to the Ryko versions is gone. Absolutely Free seems like it has better sound as well, and Hot Rats is the original vinyl mix, which I don't believe I've ever heard.

I'll only be getting a handful - Waka/Jawaka, Bongo Fury, Sheik Yerbouti (I have on vinyl already, but would like the CD) - I though his stuff was going out of print for good, so I freaked and bought a ton of Zappa albums between late 2011 and early 2012.

From what I can gather (mostly from reading that website) the ones worth rebuying are:
 
Hot Rats
Filmore East
Sleep Dirt
 
I'll get to buying them eventually.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

Anyone get any of the new Zappa reissues that have been coming out this year? I'm curious to hear what your opinions on them are. Some are worth getting, some aren't if you already have the Rykodisc versions. 

If fact, this site has all the info you need on the reissues (and more).

I just bought the new and improved Sleep Dirt, which is the original vinyl version on CD; no more annoying female vocals that were added to the Ryko version 10 years after the original album came out. I'll let you guys know how it is after I listen to it.
