I don't know which loophole got exploited, but "Wollman Rink, Central park, NY, August 3rd 1968" is being advertised as a new release by The Mothers Of Invention and it's available from most retailers.
I guess we should consider it as some sort of (semi-)official release.

As for the music, the 1968/08/03 recording has been circulating amongst collectors for many years. It's an excellent sounding stage / audience recording featuring the early Mothers Of Invention in one of their insane shows.
