The Soft Machine were one of the darlings of the London Underground scene in the late `60s. In 1969 the band performed at the famous Paradiso club in Amsterdam, and the line-up was Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge, and the former roadie Hugh Hopper. The songs on this set are derived from Volume 2, their sophomore album that had been recorded but yet to be released. We have remastered where possible to create the best audio experience of these historic performances.
