Original 1975 first pressing in thick gatefold cover...

One Size Fits All was the last album by the 1970's Mothers of Invention, and by God it was a good one. The album pulls inspiration from a melting pot of stewed Jazz, Rock, and Funk.

"Inca Roads" is a progressive rock classic and a favorite by many Zappa fans. It changes moods almost every 10 seconds. At one moment is sci-fi and the next moment its a cool-jazz guitar riff followed by a explosive ending. "Can't Afford No Shoes" is a upbeat and catchy rock song. "Have you heard the news? Cant Afford No Shoes." Zappa lyrics reflect the stuff that goes on in society. "Can't Afford No Shoes" is no exception. Poking fun at the homeless seems unethical but who cares? According to Zappa, everyone was fair game. "Sofa No.1" is a instrumental that reflects more than it shows. Its a glorious song that transitions nicely into "Po-Jama People." "Po-Jama People" is one of Zappa's forgotten works. We don't understand why? It's a Blues parody, which we love! Blues is a genre that over hyped at the time. They never changed tempo or the song. Usual it would be 5-7 minute song of just guitar playing. Though blues can be done well, it takes a lot of talent. "Florentine Pogen" is a song that builds up to triumphant ending! This song picks fun of a rich girl who goes driving and ends up being stranded by technical difficulties. "Evelyn, a Modified Dog" is a song that is short and sweet, nothing wrong with that. It also transitions into our favorite track on the album "San Ber'dino [featuring Johnny "Guitar" Watson]." San Ber'dino is about Frank Zappa's stay at San Ber'dino county jail. It's a very joyful song and builds up to a climatic ending. There are a lot of guest features on this track. One of Frank Zappa's heroes, Captain Beefheart plays harmonica on this track. Everyone puts their heart and soul in this track. We think it describes how this album is, a goodbye album. Not Frank, but the other Mothers. "Andy" is also another favorite, it covers a lot of ground as San "Ber'dino" did. Both are big goodbye songs. "Sofa No. 2" is a good song to close to on. It shows how the Mothers just want to have fun with the music that make.

One Size Fits All's songs all share something in common. They all build up to a dramatic close, which is what this album is, a farewell album. All of these things make this a favorite Zappa album. "Did a vehicle come from somewhere out there?"

CONDITION: The cover: a thick gatefold cover is near "EX" (excellent) after 35+ years...hard to find this clean as the dark cover usually shows wear... nice colors, no split seams, no bends, no writing 

The vinyl: all clean...M- looks great, plays perfect and has clean Discreet labels...what more could you want?

keeper!

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
