It features concert recordings from October–December 1984. It was the first album by Zappa to be released on CD only (although it was bootlegged on vinyl for listeners who did not own CD players).<ref>Info for ''Does Humor Belong in Music?'' at the [http://www.lukpac.org/~handmade/patio/vinylvscds/humor.html Zappa Patio]</ref> A home video (later reissued on DVD) [[Does Humor Belong in Music?
