Burt Ward (60s TV's Robin) sang a song about himself, written by Frank Zappa. A creative soundscape based on crank phone calls was provided by Brendon Locher. Mexican bands performed covers of well known hits in their own language. Penetration covered Patti Smith while Tin Huey did a Monkees song. The last line-up of Esperanto creatively arranged Eleanor Rigby, and The "A" Sound had a very young Doug Parkinson's first appearance on record. Mother Goose were just odd. Psychedelia abounded. Need we say more - it was another Obscured By... with Cat and Brat and Michael Hunter. Incident report as follows...
