Here's another Giant show that hasn't gotten around much. My intention
here on dime is to only seed GG shows that are not easily available
elsewhere. I'm picking shows that are mostly new to the trading
community, I don't mean shows that are just new to bit-torrent sites,
but ones that haven't traded hardly at all, period. I've been lucky
enough to get my hands on some of these through the years, so I figure
this is a good place to get them out there. Anyway, that's the plan.
Thanks to all for the kind words so far.
This particular show came to me a few years back in a trade. The guy
I got it from wasn't sure what he had at first, so he contacted me
for some help and we managed to figure it out. I've never seen this
listed anywhere else in my life, so I was thrilled the guy got in
touch with me.

SOUND QUALITY
Well, not the greatest. Maybe a B- or so. Still plenty enjoyable,
but those of you looking for only a few choice Giant shows might want
to pass on this one. Serious collectors - grab it. It is a full show.
I did nothing to alter this recording from the way I received it.
Excerpts from Octopus is split in two, apparently because of a tape
flip and I left it that way.
One cool thing during Excerpts - the band always included a recorder
quartet but this time, the four of them play a bit of Raconteur
Troubadour on the recorders. That only happened briefly at late 1974
European gigs like this one. Later, that tune was used during a
guitar duet instead.

Bonzo Dog Band-The BBC Recordings (Revised Edition) (FLAC)
Bonzo Dog Band - The BBC Recordings (Revised Edition) (2011 Home Made Compilation, 2CD)
Totally unexpected, one day after uploading my home made Bonzo Dog Band compilation 'The BBC Recordings' I stumbled across a bunch of unknown (and many unreleased) BBC recordings from an unknown source, no less than 37 MP3's although some in very poor quality. After listening I decided to upgrade the earlier upload with those tracks that aren't already included in the earlier upload and albeit MP3 sourced, are in a listenable sound quality and interesting to hear.
After it became obvious that I couldn't prevent compiling a second volume and as there was space left over, I decided to add also the poor quality tracks that I initially didn't want to include. Avoiding to disturb the listening pleasure I renumbered these and put them unaltered in its original file format at the end of each volume as bonus tracks. If you prefer having these tracks in the correct chronological running order simply renumber them as these are double numbered.
This revised version has also two of the officially released tracks speed adjusted as they were wrongly mastered on the official release.
The BBC Recordings - Volume 1 (November 1967 to March 1969)
Session 1 - Rec 08-11-1967 - TX Top Gear 12-11-1967

Very early previously unknown recording of 'Brain Opera' making my earlier assumption on the first edition completely obsolete. This part is called 'Act 3, scene 1' which seems odd as the other part on CD2 is called part 3.

Some of the tracks of this session are of questionable quality but as this is a bit of a bordeline case I decided to include them in the chronological running order.

Avantprog Memorial Series #2
These concerts all come from the archive of Randy Jones. A long time trader/taper who went by the name Avantprog on this forum, and Malesch on some others. Randy was a good friend, and a true Texas gentleman( despite living in the Northeast for the last decade). Randy and I made regular road trips for concerts, including our annual pilgrimages to Quebec for the Victo fest, to Progday, Nearfest, and many others. Randy passed away on December 26 2009 after a 9 month battle with liver cancer, leaving a wife and two daughters. It was their wish that I have these recordings, with an eye towards saying thank you to the community of music lovers that Randy held dear.
This concert, as legend jas it, was recorded by Jack Balchin, Henry Cow's engineer. Randy's discs were mastered at a very low level. I normalized and balanced the channels and sent the whole shebang through the Waves L3 plug-in to bring the levels up
Three tracks from this show were released on the Henry Cow Box, so are not included here.

The show captures Flo and Eddie(ex lead singers of The Turtles and The Mother's Of Invention) opening for Alice Cooper here and this particular touring band features mostly ex-Zappa Mother's Of Invention band members who were in the last lineup with Flo and Eddie before being disbanded. If you like musicial insanity of the highest art then these guys are for you.
