   The Idiot to All   
   "The doors to the vault are now official

   The ZFT has struck a new deal with Universal that will see Ahmet take over the   
   reins from Gail and the release of Joe's Garage, The Musical (presumably a DVD   
   of the 2008 LA stage production starring Ben Thomas), the The Roxy Movie (oh   
   joy!) and the LA    
   Philharmonic's performance of 200 Motels (supposedly Official Release #101).   
   But the first release will be a remastered edition of One Size Fits All, which   
   comes out on 14 August on 180-gram vinyl.   
      
   Says Gail, "This is literally an opportunity of a lifetime for me. I am   
   universally thrilled with this partnership because the fans will have   
   unparalleled access to Frank Zappa's works. The doors to the vault are now   
   officially wide open."   
      
   Adds Ahmet, "The fans of Frank Zappa will have more music and more access -   
   when they want it and how they want it. With Universal as our partner, I look   
   forward to bringing to life Joe's Garage, The Musical, the release of The Roxy   
   Movie, the release of    
   the Disney Hall performance of 200 Motels under the baton of Esa-Pekka Salonen   
   and so many more projects of this caliber. I couldn't be more excited about   
   the future." Here's the full story in Rolling Stone:
