Remastered by Doug Sax from the original 1984 digital master (this album was recorded digitally, so there was no analog master to use). Reverts to the original LP mix, which means it contains the original, shorter version of "Them or Us." A reader summarizes the changes: Notes on the 2012 reissue: this has been boosted, somewhat, and as a result is sliiightly more compressed than the original. I think it sounds fine. It lacks the ridiculously low dBs of the original Ryko (a problem that the EMI solved, to an extent), and also lacks the ugly digital edit that begins "Them Or Us." All in all, I'd say it's an upgrade. Released in October 1984, Them or Us is Frank Zappa's last studio rock album (unless one counts Thing-Fish). It contains a little of everything for everyone, but most of all it has that cold and dry early-'80s feel that made this and other albums like The Man From Utopia and Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention sound dated pretty quickly.

The follow-up graphic novel to the acclaimed Pyongyang: A Journey to North Korea. Shenzhen is entertainingly compact, with Guy Delisle's observations of life in a cold urban city in southern China that is sealed off from the rest of the country by electric fences and armed guards. With a dry wit and a clean line, Delisle makes the most of his time spent in Asia overseeing outsourced production for a French animation company. By translating his fish-out-of-water experiences into accessible graphic novels,Delisle is quick to find the humor and point out the differences between Western and Eastern cultures. Yet he never forgets to relay his compassion for the simple freedoms that escape his colleagues by virtue of living in a Communist state.
