FRENCH, FRITH, KAISER, THOMPSON ~ Live, Love, Larf & Loaf FLED 3067
The album Live, Love, Larf & Loaf was first released in 1987 and is a wonderful and rare collaboration between four experimental world-class master musicians: JOHN FRENCH – original drummer with Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band, FRED FRITH – founder of the art-rock ensemble Henry Cow, HENRY KAISER – innovative experimental guitarist and composer and RICHARD THOMPSON – singer-songwriter par excellence and founding member of Fairport Convention. “A oddball delight from four truly gifted musicians” – Live, Love, Larf & Loaf was judged ‘Rock Album of the Week’ by the New York Times. This carefully re-mastered and packaged edition adds four previously unreleased live tracks.
“As it draws on music from at least four continents, ‘Live, Love, Larf and Loaf’ romps past borderlines”.
