Rox Vox presents five classic live performances by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention across Europe from 1967 to 1970. Live from Sweden, Netherlands, United Kingdom and France. When Freak Out! landed on the shores of Europe, Frank Zappa and the Mothers had found their second home. Freak Out! enjoyed far greater success in Europe than America initially and when he announced European tour dates, it became a rallying call to his devout followers of the continental counterculture. From his first Scandinavian venture in the Konserthuset in Stockholm, Sweden with extended and exclusive renditions from Freak Out! to his second European tour with performances from Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, the Theatre De L'Olympia in Paris and a session for the BBC in London, England, Zappa's creativity, diversity, innovation, and subversive style was parallel with the complex and compelling nature of his work. His return to Holland in 1970 with a changed Mothers line-up brings portions of his then latest album Chunga's Revenge to a delighted audience and a rapturous reception. Captured through TV and radio broadcasts on his first ever European tours with a wealth of material from both Zappa and the Mothers respective catalogs and more. Includes the entire Sveriges radio, VPRO, BBC-TV and Radio France Broadcasts. Professionally remastered; includes 12-page full-color, large-format booklet with background liners and archive photos. 180 gram orange vinyl; printed inner sleeves.

Ginger Baker and Graham Bond, live from Bremn, Germany on October 24th, 1970. Back together for the first time since their powerhouse days in the Graham Bond Organisation with Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and Graham Bond join forces again in Ginger Baker's Air Force. Having unknowingly and single-handedly invented jazz-rock fusion, Bond was not only revered by all, but was a widely admired and respected figure, but one that was also deeply troubled. Coupled with Baker's explosive talent and transatlantic fame, this was going to be an incredible meeting of minds. However, when Baker's co-operative project came to an abrupt end in 1971, it would also signal the tragic and untimely death of Bond, aged just 36. This powerhouse performance from 1970 is a true gem of British jazz-rock fusion, performed in its infancy and by its original authors whose combined talent marks a milestone in British blues, jazz, R&B and rock. Rox Vox present for the first time ever, Ginger Baker's Air Force, live from Bremen, Germany, 24th October 1970, broadcast on EDF-TV. Remastered with expansive liners and rare archival images. 180 gram blue vinyl; insert and gatefold sleeve (hand-numbered).

Leonard Cohen, live in session at the Paris Theatre, Spring 1968. "Unmatched in his creativity, insight and crippling candour, Leonard Cohen was a true visionary whose voice will be sorely missed." Cohen emerged amongst a spring of acoustic troubadours from Dylan to Simon to Mitchell, but his talent lay buried beneath the commercial appeal of his fellow folk singers. No one could ever capture and put into words or song what Cohen somehow achieved, all delivered in that mesmerizing, monotone voice. Quiet and compelling with soft, sharp, and emotive undertone, his voice paints pictures like no other artist has dared to paint. Cohen's second visit to the UK in 1968 (the first being a televised appearance with Julie Felix) was staged at London's Paris Theatre in Lower Regent Street, the venue where historic recordings from the Beatles to the Stones had also been made just a few years before. Rox Vox presents Leonard Cohen at the Paris Theatre, Spring 1968. Professionally remastered original BBC2 TV broadcast with background liners and rare archival photos. First time on vinyl. Presented here together with background notes and images. 180 gram, white vinyl; hand-numbered sleeve with insert.
