LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

• Superb performances from London and Paris 1968
• Includes the entire BBC-TV and Radio France broadcasts
• Presented here together with background notes and images

Broadcast towards the close of the Mothers' rapturously received second European tour, this double album offers two superb performances featuring Frank Zappa, Roy Estrada, Jimmy Carl Black, Art Tripp, Ian Underwood, Don Preston, Bunk Gardner and Ian Sherwood.

The first was performed for BBC TV's Late Night Line-Up on October 23rd, while the second came three days later at the Paris Olympia.

Both find the band on typically adventurous, iconoclastic form and are presented here together with background notes and images.
