Notes

1st issue, with "Freak Out - Hot Spots" map/poster offer printed on the right-hand inside of the gatefold jacket. 

The map was not produced until at least Dec 1966, thus not available until that date (and would have been retrospectively added by the album's owner.) FZ's signature can be seen on the montage, bottom right, as "FVZ 12/66". 

"Tableaus" appears as part of the song title on the label for the track on Side D, "Tableaux" appears as part of the song title for the track on the inside of the gatefold.
