Recorded by the band in 1969, this was a frantic year for the Bonzos, and the album shows the lads going in several directions, but still with many strong numbers and the Bonzos trademark brand of whimsy (such as "Mr. Slater's Parrot", "Sport", and the Rhinocentric "We Were Wrong.") I was delighted to learn from the liner notes that the "hexachloraphine" referred to in "Keynsham" is the red stripe in a well-known brand of toothpaste. There are no coincidences, but sometimes the pattern *is* more obvious.

Innovative record producer and orchestra leader Enoch Light produced a string of hit stereo percussion albums including Persuasive Percussion, Provocative Percussion and Stereo 35/MM, all of which reached the Top 3 in the US best-selling albums chart. Big Bold and Brassy (1960) & Vibrations (1962) follow the series of thrilling albums that cover the whole spectrum of percussive sound resulting in a kaleidoscope of rich contrasts that gives the tunes here a new sheen of excitement.
Personnel in the Light Brigade include Doc Severinsen on trumpet and Tony Mottola on guitar, solo stars in their own right. First time on CD and re-mastered in glorious Stereo.

Recorded in 1989, Is That You? is very much a studio session, making ample use of overdubs and Bill Frisell's highly selective doubling on bass, banjo, ukulele, and clarinet, as well as his usual guitars. Producer Wayne Horvitz adds keyboards and some drum programming, with Joey Baron playing drums and Dave Hofstra appearing occasionally on tuba and electric bass.
