"The missing links in my life's work, no less!" - Robert Wyatt

"A must-have set of Wyatt's solo recordings from that year -The pristine audio quality makes '68 a stunning archival release that sheds new light on how early Soft Machine really worked" - PROG Mag.

In September, 1968, the Soft Machine had just finished their second, exhaustive tour of the USA supporting the Jimi Hendrix Experience. At the conclusion of the tour, Robert stayed, working on recordings in Hollywood and New York City. Upon his return to England to re-start the Soft Machine in December, 1968, these documents lay forgotten. Two of them were eventually found and issued, but half of these recordings were unreleased and thought lost forever... "68" collects all four of the recordings Robert made in 1968. This release is fully authorized by Robert and the liners include an in-depth interview with him about his recollections of this period of his work and life.
