"The Old Masters Box One" is a box set by Frank Zappa, the first in a series. Originally five box sets were planned, but only three were issued.Frank Zappa, as quoted in an interview with David Letterman. The interview can be viewed on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRhZPqQ66L0 YouTube] ] 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.Info for the "Old Masters Box One" sampler at the [http://www.lukpac.org/~handmade/patio/weirdo/samplers.html#oldmasters1 Zappa Patio] ]

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 interview can be viewed on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRhZPqQ66L0 YouTube] ] A remix of "Lumpy Gravy" was prepared, but never released in complete form (although an excerpt appeared on the sampler for the first Old Masters box set).
