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..

Angeles, Frank Zappa's studio at this time)
Los Angeles, CA
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.
