This auction is for a VG++ copy of Mothers Of Invention, Freak Out! I'm throwing in a bonus copy of Absolutely Free by The Mothers - this copy has a scratch and scuffs and I don't want to sell it on it's own. I just picked these Zappa / Mothers psychedelic classics up from an estate sale and they are ready to be yours. 

The copy of Freak out looks fantastic and has the indicators of a first press including the Hot Spot map ad, and correct Tableaus / Tableaux (per discogs). See photo's for more detail and do your homework, I believe this is an original copy based on what I've read and can see on the jacket and discs but am not responsible if this turns out to be some obscure bootleg. That said, check out the photos (I used all 12) - and run out/ matrix info below - all signs show that this is the original 1966 stereo release of Freak Out!

Absolutely Free Info: 

V/V6-5013 - Jacket is in pretty good shape with only light wear around the corners and edges. The Disc is badly scratched on Side 2 - it didn't skip when I play tested it. If I only had this one record, I wouldn't put it on ebay because of the scratch, but having the other one, I figured this is good to throw in as a bonus for the winning bidder.
