"A high point in the FZ catalogue!" Frank Zappa's One Size Fits All gets lavish 50th anniversary reissue

A resized, reupholstered and remastered edition of Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention's 1975 album, One Size Fits All, will be reissued in various formats through UMe on September 26 to celebrate the album's 50th anniversary.

One Size Fits was Zappa's twentieth album over-all, and was the fourteenth with The Mothers Of Invention, and featured the likes of Inca Roads, Po-Jama People and the taunting of Florentine Pogen, was intially overlooked in the wake of its predecessor Apostrophe (’), which became Zappa's first Gold-selling record in the United States, peaking at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 chart.

“The first thing I think about when I hear One Size Fits All is its sonic impact," says Zappa Vaultmaster Joe Travers today. "To me, I find it the second-best sounding album in the entire Frank Zappa catalogue (first place awarded to Joe’s Garage). Time was spent making the stereo mix sound as brilliant as possible. Over time, One Size Fits All, albeit overlooked in 1975, is now considered a high point in the FZ catalogue.”

One Size Fits All: 50^th Anniversary Edition will be available as a double album on 180-gram 2LP Black Glitter vinyl that combines a brand-new analog cut of the album with a bonus LP of highlights from the box set plus the 50^th anniversary booklet, and a limited edition 1LP on 180-gram Blue Galaxy vinyl housed in a jacket printed on silver foil and including a lithograph of a never-before-seen photo contact sheet from one of Zappa’s historic shoots with Sam Emerson.

A five-disc Super Deluxe Edition, featuring 4 CDs and Blu-ray will feature 58 tracks in total, along with a 36-page booklet and unseen photos from the archives of Sam Emerson, in addition to liner notes and new historical essays by noted music journalist David Fricke, longtime Zappa/Mothers bandmember Ruth Underwood, and Joe Travers.
