Notes
German pressing without label codes.

Some copies had a green hype sticker „Frank Zappa and the Mothers – Over-nite Sensation” on the front cover.
First catalog number on the back cover, spine, labels and the hype sticker; second in brackets on the back cover and spine.

Quite similar to later reissues Over-Nite Sensation and Over-Nite Sensation but price code Y on the back cover.

Bolic Studio is printed as „Boltic” on the gatefold inner.
Labels have typos; A1 is just „Camarillo”, and A2 is „I’m the Slim”.

„The Mothers” – on the labels
„The Mothers Of Invention” – on the spine
