Legendary Pink Dots / French Collection

Beta-lactam Ring

Live compilation of the three night residency from Paris 1994 with the full five member LEGENDARY PINK DOTS version. It started with a dusty box of DAT tapes. Perhaps it was years since anyone had listened to them despite the tantalizing labels,"Paris #1," "Paris #2," "Paris #3”... Indeed it was Paris where the Dots played their first residency in 1992. However , these tapes were a document of the Dots' one and only three-nighter from the 10th to the 12th of March 1994 at the delightful Theatre Passage du Nord Ouest. For this special occasion, HOURS of material were prepared and delivered in the certainty that quite possibly the same 300 or so people would turn up each night. Backing up that theory was the traditional shout of "champignons" from a mystery member of the audience on each of those nights. That clarion call actually began in Montreal a few years earlier, and we STILL hear it whenever we play in that city. It was ambitious. Sometimes the band was a little shaky but songs were played that were never heard again on a stage.” 4xLP version on 180-gram vinyl and cloth bound embossed box limited to 300 numbered copies.
