Customer Reviews

the genesis of a classic
The very first of what was to become classic Zappa recordings. (He has had so many , hasn't he ?) With this you get to hear the beginnings of what was to become "Freak Out". A true genius at his humble beginnings best.

A story of a underappricated classic. Apple records take note!
If you are really interested in what went on behind the scenes in the spring of 66 at TTG studios you might want to order the 4-disc version. This set contains the original 1966 stereo mix of "Freak Out" and not the digitized version that is available through Rykodisc. You also get a live set of the original MOI from the Fillmore in 1966 and a plethora of remixes, out-takes, & radio interviews. Again, this is not for someone with just a passing interest in Frank Zappa and the original MOI. That is why there is the 2-disc version. The 4-disc version is only available from www.zappa.com and comes in a white vinyl case the folds out into 4 trays and a book in the center. And it also includes the infamous "Freak Out Hot Spots" map. Here's hoping the Zappa Family Trust does likewise with "Absolutely Free", We're Only In It For The Money, & "Cruising With Ruben & The Jets".

a must have for Zappa fans
CD 1 is Freak Out in its' entirety, reissued in its' oringial form.
CD2 has studio out-takes, the basic tracks, different takes from the songs in Freak Out! PLUS a couple of live recordings of early Mothers at the end.
This is great stuff. Freak Out was such a revelation for me when I was growing up. Listening to the record, instead of the CRAP that was being played on FM radio really opened up my eyes to a whole world of musical possibilities. The cynicism and satire that it presented is instilled in me to this day.
Having the original release plus the additional CD is required stuff for fans of Zappa. I understand that there is ALSO a 4 CD version instead of the 2 CD one that I have, I am going to get that one too.
