Frank Zappa’s 1975 prog-rock masterpiece One Size Fits All will receive a 50th anniversary reissue this fall featuring a new remaster, unreleased session tracks, live recordings, and more.
One Size Fits All: 50th Anniversary Edition, out Sept. 26 via Zappa Records/UMe, boasts the original LP — featuring Zappa classics like “Inca Roads,” “San Ber’dino” and “Andy” — along with two discs worth of outtakes from the album sessions, plus an entire 1974 concert from Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
“The first thing I think about when I hear One Size Fits All is its sonic impact,” Zappa “Vaultmeister” Joe Travers said in a statement. “To me, I find it the second-best sounding album in the entire Frank Zappa catalog (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 catalog.”
One Size Fits All’s 50th Anniversary reissue will be available in a variety of formats, including a 4CD/1Blu-ray Super Deluxe set, a limited edition 2LP pressed on black glitter vinyl with a bonus disc of the unreleased highlights, and a 1LP version pressed on “blue galaxy” vinyl. All formats are available to preorder now.
Each version features liner notes by Travers, music journalist David Fricke, longtime Zappa/Mothers band member Ruth Underwood, plus unseen photos from the era.
