    He remixed "Mr. Green Genes" but the rest was the original mix. I understand from those who keep track of such things that it has digital reverb and other signs of 80's mastering though.

    Hearing the outtakes on these Project/Object sets usually leaves me thinking that FZ made the right decisions putting together the original albums. Not always though. For instance the longer "Prelude to King Kong" has some cool stuff after the original version breaks off.

    Reverb is applied during mixing, not mastering, so if there's digital reverb on most (if not all) of the album, then that would mean the entire album was remixed.

    Not necessarily true.

    For the 80s version of Uncle Meat the reverb was indeed added during mastering.

    Meat Light brings the original analog master as prepared for the original vinyl release to CD for the first time (it sounds incredibly great, far superior to any previous CD issue), in addition to that earlier full album sequence featuring different mixes and some unreleased material, and then a good sized hunk of additional unreleased outtakes/work versions/etc. from the vault. It's beautiful.
    Meat Light is a 100% essential Zappa release sez me.

    .
    OK, I stand corrected. I always had the impression it was a remix that we were talking about.
