Album of Yesterday

You Are What You Is, by Frank Zappa (1981): Although I'm a music fan, I'm not a huge audiophile. I didn't rush out and buy remastered versions of my favorite albums in order to enjoy the slight improvement in sound quality (I'm a reader, so I got 'em for the expanded liner notes). But even I can't overlook quite how bad the Ryko version of this album sounds. The levels aren't consistent, fading in and out all over the disc. It's not quite enough to make me not listen (this is one of my favorite Zappa discs), but it is enough to be really annoying.
