Notes
Freak Out! Is the debut album by American band the Mothers of Invention, released June 27, 1966 on Verve Records. Often cited as one of rock music's first concept albums, the album is a satirical expression of front man Frank Zappa's perception of American pop culture. It was also one of the earliest double albums in rock music (although Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde preceded it by a week), and the first 2-record debut. Mothers of Invention changed from an R&B covers band to performing Zappa's original material when he joined the group. Freak Out! Contains a range of musical styles from R&B, doo wop, and blues-influenced rock to orchestral arrangements and avant-garde sounds. In 1999, the album was honored with the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, and in 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it among the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. "A master guitarist and provocateur, Frank Zappa made more than 60 albums, but the first was perhaps the most groundbreaking. The double disc declared the arrival of a visionary weirdo who dabbled in doo-wop, pop-song parody, protest tunes, art rock and avant-garde classical. " - Rollingstone This double 180 gram vinyl pressing was mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman mastering..

    The 45 was in great condition, as described by the seller, and the packaging and shipping were excellent, even though USPS squished the package. I emailed the seller that there was an extra 45 in the package, one I did not order or want, but there has been no response yet, after close to a week. I was not charged for it, but I'd be happy to return it if I can avoid paying postage.

  • Good repro, sound unimproved from original

    The repro cover is excellent. Vinyl is heavy, as advertised. Some of the original music is good, some funny, some just strange. The first disc is a little tinny sounding, probably as was the 1966 original. The second disc has much better fidelity.
