Release Details
Manufacturer: Video Arts
Mastering:Remastered (2003)
Channels:Stereo
Format:CD
This version released:2001-09-21
Reprints:Various including 2006
Original LP release:1966.07
 
Packaging
Obi:Standard Zappa obi.
Cover:Thick gatefold
Inserts (as per original):
  1. Sticker ("Limited Edition 2 L.P.s for the price of one"); and
  2. map of "Freak Out Hot Spots!"

The map shows Hollywood in around 1966 in black type face. Superimposed on this is red and black typeface and images seeming to show the relevance of some locations to the band. There appear to be a number of "mushroom cloud" symbols indicating people or places they were not particularly keen on. Laurel Canyon includes the words "Caution Freak Sanctuary".

Inserts (additional):Some of the notes from inside the gatefold have been reproduced (in English) on the Japanese foldout: "What is Freaking Out" and "Biographical Trivia". Sadly the "Notes on the compositions included herein" have not been included (although they are there in Japanese) but these just legible on the inside of the gatefold.
Lyrics:Japanese and English on standard 2 by 4 paper foldout.

* Reprint date is pretty hit and miss (especially older releases). If there's a date it's probably correct but if there's no date there still may have been a reprint. If one mini in a sequential range of minis for one artist has been reprinted then the chances are they all were. The date shown here is the most recent one we know of.
Reprints usually have the obi identical to the original Mini (including release date), often have different stickers on the bag and occasionally have different inserts.
