The EP got re-released on CD in 2003 with slightly altered artwork and still carrying the same names in the Thank You section, but also with liner notes by Eddie Jobson who said:

Frank Zappa described him as “the most interesting guitarist on the planet” – most musicians would agree.
and
It was my privilege to introduce Zappa to the playing of Holdsworth.

Here's a live version of the title track:

• Allan Holdsworth: Guitar

In the meantime, Steve Vai has been involved in championing unreleased Allan Holdsworth live material, including the restored "Complete Yoshi's Shows" !
