from the cover art--


This CD presents two versions of the rehearsals
filmed by french TV in Saint-Tropez August 8th, 1970.

From 'Foreign Legion':
(speed corrected)
1. Cymbaline (soundcheck) 3:10
2. The Embryo 11:26
3. Atom Heart Mother 13:48

Second source:
1. Cymbaline (soundcheck) 3:08
2. Atom Heart Mother 13:54
3. The Embryo 11:23


This Cd presents two versions of the same show. Why two versions?

Because even if the source used for the Roio 'Foreign Legion' is
of better quality the the one I had, mine was a bit longer, had
more of the french narator and was at correct speed.

That's why appear here first the 'Foreign Legion' version (enhanced
with bits from my tape, and speed corrected) and then my tape.

Note that the order of the tracks are not the same as it seems to me
that they are missordered on 'Foreign Legion' as on my tape the
narrator introduces 'Atom Heart Mother' saying 'you will see them
play now' meaning that 'The Embryo' was presented after 'Atom'
during the broadcast.

'Cymbaline' was shot during the soundcheck (Dave plays drums
and says to the camera operator: 'You cant' film me when I'm
playing drums like that as the drummer isn't there')

How I wish I had the video too ...

acquired in an FTP trade from MOB, good friend of JME, in SHN format so I'm sure
the lineage is as good as it gets.
