- This album was released on CD in 2007, part of an ongoing effort to digitize and distribute Zappa's vast catalog of live recordings and unreleased material.
- The 1972 tour, from which 'Wazoo' draws its material, was notable for its large ensemble, including a horn section, which significantly expanded Zappa's sonic palette.
