"This very rare import on Virgin/4AD (1994) exists in TWO versions, one with 18 tracks recorded live in Paris for Radio France (track listing provided in another review), and a second version (even rarer) that adds the Kitchen Tapes and has 21 tracks.



The disc comes in a custom opaque black plastic case with the artwork stenciled on the front and back covers, and as far as I know, never included paper inserts or liner notes inside (just the disc).



Personnel included: Frank, Lyle Workman, Eric Drew Feldman, Nick Vincent. Excellent sound quality, very listenable, and the band is tight. Frank sings in English but speaks to the audience in French!!! Essential for any fan of the big man, and a testimony to his unique genius."

"The guy's a genius. I know some of the critics think it's a poor effort, but how can you criticize the soul that this live recording puts into the songs? And the final track, an acoustic version of "Abstract Plain", just tops off a great set."
