Producer - FZ, Record Plant, Los Angeles.

Läther was originally conceived by Zappa as a 4-record box set (the material was recorded 1973-1977) that was rejected by his record company in early 1977. Most of the compositions were re-edited (sometimes with other arrangements) over the next two years into several albums (principally Live In New York, Studio Tan, Sleep Dirt, & Orchestral Favorites). The project was released only in 1996.

Special Thanks for all Good Will expressed by various members of the FZ Teen-age Audience & Support Team and for hot duty: Ahmet Zappa for Target Acquisition & Owen Sloane, Larry Stein, Antonio, Mike, Joe & Melanie, without all of whom the possible is horribly foreshortened.

Very Special Thanks to Moon • Dweezil • Ahmet • Diva - Mathilda, Zola, Ceylon & Halo.
