the original bat chain puller

from "Rollin Red's Big Bad But Beautiful Book of Beefheart Bootlegs - Volume #2" (Apocalypse) / 1995 :
"1994 Euro bootleg CD The Original Bat Chain Puller on CBCD 154 again from the company responsible for the excellent Radar Station CD with sleeve artwork from the man himself, plus a photo of Don on the tour coach to Brighton (just after the extremeley successful Royal Albert Hall date in 1972). Unlike the vinyl versions this was the real thing!
Taken from the Virgin promo tape this is the full LP in excellent stereo as Don wanted & produced by Zappa in 1975! (& which at this very moment may be being mixed for a planned official release in early 1997! Sorry folks, you'll get the full SP in your next issue...
Not only do you get the full unreleased LP as a bonus a 1972 live concert from the Bataclan, Paris which to quote our former editor's words "is an absolute stonker" that I would give my right arm to have on video, as its sound quality is excellent & in FM stereo.
Well, it's worth its weight in gold just for thelive tracks. If you weren't there in 1972 find this CD and you'll get an idea of what you missed! A cracker!"
