1975 - FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION - ONE SIZE FITS ALL - 12" VINYL RECORD LP - RARE NEW ZEALAND PRESSING WITH A NON GATEFOLD COVER - MANUFACTURED IN NEW ZEALAND BY E.M.I. UNER LICENSE FROM WARNER BROS. AND PRESSED ON THE REPRISE RECORDS STEAMBOAT LABEL - DS-2216.

IT'S INCREDIBLE THAT THEY EVEN PRESSED ANY ZAPPA / MOTHERS OF INVENTION RECORDS IN NEW ZEALAND. HERE IS A NEW ZEALAND PRESSING OF THE CLASSIC FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION ALBUM " ONE SIZE FITS ALL " WITH THE NON GATEFOLD COVER. EVER WONDER WHY YOU VERY RARELY SEE ANY ZAPPA NEW ZEALAND PRESSINGS? THE REASON IS OF COURSE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT THERE WASN'T VERY MANY ZAPPA FANS IN THE 70'S IN NEW ZEALAND, SO THEY ONLY MADE A FEW HUNDRED OR LESS OF EACH TITLE. A FRIEND OF MINE WHO WAS AND STILL IS A MAJOR ZAPPA COLLECTOR IN AUSTRALIA USED TO TELL ME HOW DIFFICULT ZAPPA NEW ZEALAND PRESSINGS WERE TO FIND EVEN IN AUSTRALIA. THIS RECORD WAS PRESSED ON THE REPRIE RECORDS LABEL IN NEW ZEALAND WHERE JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE ELSE IT CAME OUT ON THE DISCREET LABEL. 

THE NON GATEFOLD COVER HAS A  LIGHT RECORD INDENTATION ON THE FRONT, NO RING WEAR. SOME LIGHT WEAR WITH A RECORD INDENTATION ON THE BACK AND A CREASE IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER.

THE RECORD IS PRESSED ON SOME HEAVY HIGH QUALITY VINYL AND IS NEAR MINT. SO WHAT DOES NEAR MINT MEAN, THE INQUIRING CONSUMER WANTS TO KNOW? NEAR MINT TO ME MEANS THAT LIKE AN IDIOT, I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS AND COULDN'T FIND ANY MARKS ON THE PLAYING SURFACE. YEAH AMAZING BUT TRUE. THE LABELS LLOK GREAT TOO HOWEVER AN IDIOT BY THE NAME OF C. WILSON, WROTE " C. WILSON '76 " VERY LIGHTLY ON THE SIDE 1 LABEL. HEY, IT REAL LIGHT AND NEAR THE EDGE OF THE LABEL SO I ALMOST MISSED IT, AT LEAST IT'S WRITTEN SUPER LIGHT AND NOT OVER ANYTHING THAT'S PRINTED ON THAT LABEL. THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE SO THE COVER WON'T GET V.D.
