Frank Zappa - 1996 - Left Of The Dial

This was a radio promo to promote the new Läther release. The cover depicts a small radio that is spotted like a cow, with pink touch-ups. There is a thought bubble coming out of the radio that says: "ZAPPA: LEFT OF THE DIAL". Below it says "includes selections from the legendary Läther".

From JWB:

Left of the Dial is, in my opinion, the best Zappa compilation that Ryko ever attempted to put together, promotional or otherwise. Great editing, flow and track selection.
