The Nice - BBC Sessions

Front Cover

Disc

Record Label: Castle Music/Sanctuary/Immediate/BBC
Catalogue Number: CMFCD 457
Country of Origin: UK
Year: 1968/2002
Zappa Connection: Includes cover of 'Lumpy Gravy' recorded 6th August 1968 for the BBC radio show 'Top Gear' broadcast on 28th August.
The compilation was eventually released in 2002, with the sleevenotes 'Due to lack of original masters, this CD has been mastered from various sources'
The 'Lumpy Gravy' recording is very poor quality (home taper ??). Of historical interest as one of the first Zappa covers, the version includes a Zappa-esque
collage at the beginning merging into 'The way I see it John' rather than Barry. The 'John' is legendary English DJ and Beefheart pioneer John Peel
