Never heard that before although I knew he produced some of their stuff.

Anyone hear Brian Matthew play that really early version of Fountain of Love (apparently predating the one on Ruben & the Jets) yesterday on Sounds of the 60's?

Bugger, missed that. I usually listen to 'your old mate Brian Matthew' but yesterday I had a mega long sleep in. Would have loved to have heard old Brian spinning that disc! :-D

There is an early version of Fountain Of Love on the 'Paul Buff Presents Highlights From The Pal And Original Sound Studio Archives' 5-CD Box Set.

That version has Ray Collins (vocals), Paul Buff (fuzz bass, organ), Frank Zappa (drums, guitar, backing vocals) and was recorded in March 1963.

There's also three early versions of Love Of My Life plus Anyway The Wind Blows with Frank Zappa (guitar, drums), Ray Collins (lead vocals), Paul Buff (bass, percussion) and a version of Deserie by Ray Collins & Paul Buff all recorded in 1963.

The box set has some great stuff on it and is essential listening for anyone interested in pre-Mothers Zappa.

I was dozing a bit but vaguely recall Brian mentioning a box set so maybe it was the one you mention.
