Description: Absolutely Free is the second album by American rock band the Mothers of Invention, released on May 26, 1967, by Verve Records. Zappa intended the album to be divided into two operatic suites with all the songs continually linked, which at the time of recording predated the release of The Who’s "A Quick One While He’s Away" and The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The first suite, entitled “Absolutely Free”, is essentially a send-up of a romantic love story with fruits and vegetables acting as a metaphor for people; the second suite, “The M.O.I. American Pageant”, is a trenchant social commentary on American life including aspects of social status and mobility, consumerism, alcoholism, greed, and political corruption. This version is Mono. Matrix / Runout (Side A runout etched): V5013 Side 1 MG672. Back cover printed upside down as a continuation of the front cover, Gatefold cover. "Clean American Version" printed inside-left, with '$1 libretto' offer.
