Liner Notes
Conceptual Continuity
Background Information
Freak Out! was an early example of a rock album being issued as a set of two LP discs, although it was edited and issued as a single disc in some countries. The content followed a thematic concept, rather than being a collection of disparate songs, and is considered one of the first rock music concept albums.
"Mothers and Dads, you thought the Beatles were bad. You got up in arms about the Rolling Stones. Sonny & Cher made you cringe. Well, as the man said, you ain't seen nothing yet. The Mothers of Invention are here with an album called 'Freak Out!' (someone suggested it should have been called 'Flake Out!') They come from Hollywood. Their clothes are dreadful -- and I dig mod clothes. Their hair and beards are filthy. They smell bad. You just can't believe it -- So, Mothers and Dads, next time the Beatles, the Stones, or Sonny & Cher come to town, welcome them with open arms. Next to the Mothers Of Invention the other groups come on like the Bobbsey Twins."
