Hallowen Night ( Tivoli Gardens) - "This
show is simply astonishing, demonstrating the full raw power of the
live Magic Band at its very best on a Halloween night, with the Captain
seemingly intent on ripping out his vocal cords." - Graham Johnston
- Caution: Graham is referring to the performance. The sound is decent,
but a little echo-y and distant..

Original Bat Chain Puller - Plus the
1967 Safe As Milk mono mixes. This is a top quality version
of the original Bat Chain Puller album - excellent sound quality although
the title track does start somewhat abruptly. The best version of this
brilliant album ... but there would be no need for it if the Zappa
Family Trust pulled their finger out and released it officially.
