Notes
Official Release #1
Early US sleeves had a small "Hot-Spots Freak Map" promo on the inside spread. There is a typographical error in the text of this for the venue “Bido Lido's”, which is printed “Bido Lito's”. Post-1967 sleeves were reprinted without this ad, upon expiry of map availability. (As the map was mail-order and not included, its inclusion with a valid release does not make that particular copy unique – although the rarity of the original map does greatly enhance its value and sellers need to be mindful of commenting on whether it is included. Caution: reproductions of the map are also in circulation.)
Vinyl catalog numbers have 2 IDs: V for mono & V6 for stereo.
Vinyl US sleeves came with 3 catalog numbers: V-5005-2, V6-5005-2 & V6-5005-2X
Vinyl US sleeve inner spreads also came with 2 generic mono/stereo imprints: V/V6-500502 & V/V6-5005-2, which may contain either mono or stereo issues.
Early US labels, pressed by MGM Record Manufacturing Division (MGM/Verve plant, Bloomfield) have V6-5005-2 & the 3rd Story Music credit in 2 lines, with crediting as (Zappa).
Contracted-out pressings & later US labels have V6/5005-2 & the 3rd Story Music credit in 3 lines, with crediting as (F. Zappa) or (Frank Zappa).
For both mono & stereo, the slash “/” on label catalog numbers is common to later issues, which include the addition of the Sunset Boulevard address in the radial text following PolyGram acquisition in 1972.

Edited 12 days agoAbsolutely fantastic, packs way more punch than the thin sounding UK '71 stereo press
-
Hallo, in my copy the matrix are etched (not stamped): there could be a mistake????
-
I have something nearly identical to this but in the picture here the label look deep blue, but my labels are almost turquoise. Wondering if anyone knows about this label or has it as well? -
I have a copy of this but with two of the second disc! Can anyone help me find a first disc please. I'm happy to let go of one of the second discs to anyone who wants one. -
referencing Freak Out! (2×LP, Album, Stereo) V6-5005-2
I have this pressing but there is a block shaped S in matrix on all sides, everything else match with the cover, the matrix and labels layout. Great sound on this press -
Looking for a copy, feel free to me. :) -
I actually think this is quite a bit better than the 1st stereo pressing, but ittedly this album KILLS in mono. Although, a clean mono pressing is fairly expensive these days, so I think this suffices for most. Compared to the 1st stereo this has much more air and dynamics overall and actually improved my enjoyment of the mix substantially because of that. In general it sounds more realistic and removes most of the feeling that every instrument is being dragged through sludge. But, hey, maybe that's how it was supposed to sound. I don't know. But personally I highly recommend this pressing while you're waiting to find a good mono. -
But I wonder what year this club edition is . But it sounds great.
-
Incredibly great pressing. Flat 180g vinyl, minimal side weave. Sound is exceptionally great, completely silent and noise free between tracks, lead in, and lead out. Technically, as good as a record can possibly be!
The music threw some bricks through the windows of what I usually call music, some of it wasn’t music- but yet why wasn’t it? Never heard this album before, quite an experience, very well worth listening to it. Overall, I love it! Great record! -
Much better mix than the stereo as far as I’m concerned. Fuller and richer by a long shot
