Does the Terre Haute pressing have the same etched DC on the A-side as the Santa Maria pressing? I don’t own the Terre Haute pressing of this release but I have the WPLJ/My Guitar and it got an etched DC  on the “My guitar” side.

THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION

Produced & Arranged by Frank Zappa

DOG BREATH                            MY GUITAR
(Frank Zappa)                                    (Frank Zappa)


The Mothers of Invention, famous for their non-conformist productions are going to surprise
a lot of people with this interpretation of My Guitar that shows them, under the direction of Frank Zappa, to turn to a more traditional song style.

Dog Breath is from the latest album of the Mothers Uncle Meat (Reprise CRV. 2009)


(pictures and song-content of Uncle Meat 2LP, singles Kenny Rogers and The First Edition)
