The Au20 trademark distinguishes audiophile editions of 20-bit digital masters, "noise shaped" from 20-bit to 16-bit, and replicated on 24k gold CDs. To insure the most accurate reproduction of the music, all analog to 20-bit digital conversion in the Au20 series is from the original analog master tapes. Apostrophe C) Au20 Edition Number: XXXX Technical Notes Mastering Transfer Engineers: David Dondorf, Spencer Chrislu • Mastering Engineer: Spencer Chrislu • Mastering Facility: The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen This Au20 CD was mastered from the original Dolby A master tapes. Playback was through a specially-enhanced Ampex ATR-102 using audio cards upgraded by John Musgrave and courtesy of The Complex recording studios. No equalization, compression, limiting or other 'enhancement" of any kind was added during the transfer. The analog-to-digital conversion was done through a dB Technologies™ AD122 converter in the 20-bit mode, directly to the hard disk of the Sonic Solutions digital mastering workstation. Once edited into the final form, the program was transferred through the Sony SuperBitmapping process integrated into the Sonic System. This "noise-shaping" process allows the music to be captured in 16-bits while maintaining the optimal signal-to-noise equivalent of 20-bits. This 16-btt "Super Bit Mapped" PCM 1630 master was then used in the production of the Au20 CD. SBM™ Super Bit Mapping In recent years, new research has led to the development of several technologies that dramatically improve digital recording. Among the most notable is the ability to record with 20-bit resolution which provides unprecedented dynamic range and clarity. But these 20-bit master recordings must still be transferred back to 16-bit in order to be used for producing Compact Discs. During this transfer process, distortion can increase through the practice of cutting-off, or truncating the recording's four least significant bits. Or, in some cases engineers will add "white noise" (called redithering) during this stage, which impairs the music's signal-to-noise. Super Bit Mapping (SBM) is a sophisticated psycho-acoustic-based system that redistributes transfer noise within the portion of the audio spectrum that is virtually inaudible. With SBM, audiophiles can appreciate the benefits of 20-bit sound on Compact Discs that retain full compatibility with all CD players.

Eine jugendfreie Version der Leadsingle “Don´t Eat The Yellow Snow“ schlug in die Top-100 der US-Singlecharts ein. LP Nr. 18 in seiner Diskografie erreichte die Top-10 der US-amerikanischen Popcharts und wurde im Heimatland des Rock´n´Rolls vergoldet. Den Weg aus der Nische hatte Zappa sich bereits auf dem Album-Vorgänger Over-Nite-Sensation gebahnt. Mit deftigen Lyrics und strafferer Musik hatte der Underground-Künstler dort einen Fuß in die Charts bekommen. Apostrophe (´) behält diese Stoßrichtung bei, mit einem Mix aus Blues, Prog- und Rap-Rock, Comedy und R&B. Kollaborateure von Apostrophe (´) sind der Cream-Bassist Jack Bruce, neben Violinist Jean-Luc Ponty und dem Studio-Über-Schlagzeuger Jim Gordon (Alice Cooper, Eric Clapton, Steely Dan). Highlights sind neben dem Titeltrack das kosmisch-orchestrale “Cosmik Debris“ und der anti-rassistische Gospel-Pop-Rock-Song “Uncle Remus“. *************************************************************************************** Review by Steve Huey The musically similar follow-up to the commercial breakthrough of Over-Nite Sensation, Apostrophe became Frank Zappa's second gold and only Top Ten album with the help of the "doggy wee-wee" jokes of "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow," Zappa's first chart single (a longer, edited version that used portions of other songs on the LP). The first half of the album is full of nonsensical shaggy-dog story songs that segue into one another without seeming to finish themselves first; their dirty jokes are generally more subtle and veiled than the more notorious cuts on Over-Nite Sensation. The second half contains the instrumental title cut, featuring Jack Bruce on bass; "Uncle Remus," an update of Zappa's critique of racial discord on "Trouble Every Day"; and a return to the album's earlier silliness in "Stink-Foot." Apostrophe has the narrative feel of a concept album, but aside from its willful absurdity, the concept is difficult to decipher; even so, that doesn't detract from its entertainment value. *******************************************************************************************
