Original Dutch pressing. Released in front laminated single sleeve, on red SR labels with black lettering. Pokora rarity rating: 3.[kostasg]

RARE german pressing with recordings from the stunning first two albums by the band of Robert Wyatt and Kevin Ayers. It ranges between lovingly performed pop songs and deranged ensemble playing from drummer/vocalist Robert Wyatt and organist Mike Ratledge. A wild and freewheeling attempt to merge psychedelia with jazz-rock. Superb sound quality. TRACKS: Hibou Anemone And Bear, Dada Was Here, Out Of Tunes, As Long As He Lies Perfectly Still, Dedicated To You But You Weren't Listening, Hope For HApiness, Joy Of Toy, Hope For HApiness (Reprise), Plus Belle Qu'Une Poubelle, Why Are We Sleeping?[matthiasb]
