Frank Zappa Old Masters Box I Sampler 1985 LP Sealed
The Old Masters is an album box set series by Frank Zappa. Originally five box sets were planned, but only three were issued. Contrary to the box set series' name, the sets featured remixes that were vastly different from the original albums (prepared for the CD reissues). In the case of We're Only In It For The Money and Cruising With Ruben & The Jets, the original rhythm tracks were replaced by bass player Arthur Barrow and drummer Chad Wackerman (Cruising With Ruben & The Jets also featured Jay Anderson playing string bass).
The first box set consisted of the first five albums by Zappa (Freak Out!, Absolutely Free, We're Only In It For The Money, Lumpy Gravy and Cruising With Ruben & The Jets) and a bonus "Mystery Disc" consisting of previously unissued material that, at the time, was unavailable elsewhere. Only the first and second Old Masters box sets featured a Mystery Disc. In 1998, both Mystery Discs were combined together and released as a single CD by Rykodisc (with the omission of two tracks, "Big Leg Emma" and "Why Don'tcha Do Me Right", which had already been included as bonus tracks on the Absolutely Free CD). A sampler containing material from the box set was also issued.
Originally, all of the albums in the first Old Masters box set were to feature new overdubs, but this never came to be. A remix of Lumpy Gravy was prepared, but never released in complete form until 2009 on Lumpy Money (although an excerpt appeared on the sampler for the first Old Masters box set).
