Product Description

For our second look at Frank Zappa’s 1968 European tour with the Mothers of Invention, we turn to the final leg of the tour in London and Paris.

Side One was recorded at BBC TV Studios for Late Night Line-Up and Zappa starts off by thanking the BBC for featuring music which could never be heard on American radio.

On Side Two we have another studio broadcast, this time from ORTF France’s Forum Musiques presented by Philippe Koechlin.

The band performs, in front of a crowd of around fifty enthusiastic spectators, “The String Quartet”, the original stage name for the medley of "Pound for a Brown" and "Sleeping in a Jar." And finally, a couple of live bonus tracks from TV shows; “In Memoriam: Hieronymus Bosch” from Fred Weintraub's WOR-TV New York show From The Bitter End and “America Drinks And Goes Home" from The Steve Allen Show. 

Side One. 1. Nifty Little Number 2. King Kong 3. Oh In The Sky.

Side Two. 1. A Pound For A Brown 2. Sleeping In A Jar 3. Octandre 4. In Memoriam: Hieronymus Bosch 5. America Drinks And Goes Home
