I've just got hold of a US copy of Freak Out but i am a bit puzzled as the number is V6-5005-2X .What is the X ,the sleeve its is thin cardboard like UK issues. Somebody said it might Canadian but the records have made in the US. So I'm stuck can anyone help ???

"Vinyl cat#s have 2 IDs; V for mono & V6 for stereo.
Vinyl US sleeves came with 3 cat#s; V-5005-2, V6-5005-2 & V6-5005-2X
Vinyl US sleeve inner spreads also came with 2 generic mono/stereo imprints; V/V6-500502 & V/V6-5005-2, which may contain either mono or stereo issues.
Early US labels, pressed by MGM Records Division (MGM/Verve plant, Bloomfield) have V6-5005-2 & the 3rd Story Music credit in 2 lines, with crediting as (Zappa).
Contracted-out pressings & later US labels have V6/5005-2 & the 3rd Story Music credit in 3 lines, with crediting as (F. Zappa) or (Frank Zappa).
For both mono & stereo, the slash '/ ' on label cat#s is common to later issues, which include the addition of the Sunset Boulevard address in the radial text following PolyGram acquisition in 1972."

hey punk, where you going with that button on your shirt?

But can he copy & paste, that is the question...

Thank for looking up the information for me and the label looks like an early one but just wondering about the sleeve as US sleeves are usually very thick cardboard this is thin gateford like a UK cover. Did the US ever make thin sleeves ?
