ARTIST - THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION TITLE - FREAK OUT!  LABEL - VERVE CATALOG NO - V6-5005 
RECORD GRADING - VG+ COVER GRADING - VG
The cover is intact with some minor splits at the top near the opening. I will house the records outside of the cover. Some corner bumps.  The record has high gloss but some hairlines typical with a record of this age. The records plays mostly excellent with some minor clicks and crackles at times. 
This is the first pressing with the Hot Spots ad on the inside of the cover. There is NOT a map insert included with this copy. 
Great Zappa weirdness, experimental and psychedelic without (allegedly) drugs.....

Shipping: Combined Shipping:  I can combine shipping!  Many times it means I can ship up to 3 LP's U.S. for the same cost as one, and possibly more 45's.   International bidders - Combined shipping will be only based on weight, so I will need to know how many items are bought before sending invoice.  International Shipping:  I ship using e-Bays's International Standard Delivery.  This sends the item to a shipping center in the U.S. and they send it off from there.  If you would like to change the shipping preference please let me know.    And as always, I do not change values on customs labels. Thank you. 

VJ'S VINYL GRADING SYSTEM: (based on Goldmine)  Mint - never used, once a record is opened, the top you can get is mint minus. Mint Minus - A great record, one or two fine hairline scuffs, sounds flawless. A mint minus record can "play" mint. Covers are new looking, may have shrink. Excellent - Can have faint hairline scuffs that do no affect play. Can have very minor infrequent crackling. Minor bumps in the cover. VG+ - Scuffs can be more prevalent, with a little more surface noise. If it visually has more scuffs but plays great, I will note that. Still, a very fine and playable copy. Covers have minor age and shelf wear.  VG - Can have lots of hairline scuffs, and maybe one or two scratches. Surface noise more prevalent with some popping in spots. Covers have more extensive age and shelf wear. Minor splits. VG minus - More in the way of scratches and surface noise is NOT infrequent. Still, a viable copy. Covers may have splits.  G+ - only reserved for a very rare or popular record. Very noisy, maybe some skips, scratches are evident. Covers are trashed.  STILL SEALED - I will grade the vinyl as "still sealed." That means it's probably mint minus, but I do not know if there was any factory defects.  Hairline scuffs -  light yet visible. Cannot be felt with the skin of your finger.  (I cannot fathom feeling it with your fingernail as described in Goldmine...why would you do that?) Scratches - Can be felt. If I am on the fence between grades, I will go with the lower one.  I will not use VG++ etc., but will say that a record is a "strong" VG+.  Age wear - on a cover is either fading or yellowing.  Shelf wear - is ring wear, corner bumps, or fraying
