Can't Afford No Shoes: Frank Zappa's "One Size Fits All" Gets Expanded for 50th
Following last year's deluxe expansion of 1974's Apostrophe (') and the recent restoration of the same year's concert film Cheaper Than Cheep, Frank Zappa's archival team is turning the page to 1975 and expansively revisiting One Size Fits All in time for its 50th anniversary. The guitarist-songwriter-bandleader-producer's twentieth album (and fourteenth with The Mothers of Invention), it featured the by-then-familiar lineup of keyboardist George Duke, drummer Chester Thompson, percussionist
Review: Frank Zappa, "Cheaper Than Cheep"
The latest archival release from the Frank Zappa camp may be called Cheaper Than Cheep, but rest assured, this concert program is actually an embarrassment of audiovisual riches.

The Spirit of Man: Madfish Preps Box Set Edition of Jeff Wayne's 'War of the Worlds' Concept Album
When H.G. Wells published The War of the Worlds as a serialized collection of stories in 1897 and a full novel a year later, he may not have known the groundbreaking work he was unleashing on the world. A sci-fi story that dared to look at the dark side of theoretical human-alien contact, War of the Worlds was a fantastical-yet-grounded story that imagined visitors from the planet Mars as anything but friendly. The book became fertile ground for adaptations, from Orson Welles' dramatic 1938
