Fred Frith

Impur Fred Frith

These concerts were part of a solo tour of Japan organized by the now-defunct magazine Fool's Mate. The music was first released in 1982 by Recommended Records Japan as a 2 LP box set in a limited edition of 1000. The tapes were returned to Japan after mastering in New York, and at some time during the ensuing 20 years they disappeared. All efforts to unearth them failed. This version was meticulously re-created from 96K vinyl transfers by Tom Dimuzio over a period of several months in 2007.
