Shelved as 'filmed'

Tina Turner appears (that's the wrong word ; she's uncredited) on this record.
And if you're a True Zappa Completist, you'll want :: "....Tricky. Something with the CD remix (old CD, or original pressing of the 1995 CD), plus something with the vinyl mix (the 2012 CD, an LP, an Au20 CD, or an old-mix pressing of 1995 CD). However, the CD remix comes in three distinct flavors; really crazy completists may need more than one. If you're an ultra-completist, you'll dream about a quadraphonic copy (rare)."

"Only this evening, after owning Apostrophe (') for 21 years, I discovered that on the label of the record it's spelled 'A'POS! TRO'PHE(!)'"

I'm still soliciting RECommendations for my apostrophe'shelf. Criteria -- (all together now) '
It should be easy to see
The crux of the biscuit
