Filmed by Benjamin Porraz (7/5/2007) and edited by Christian Fach (01/2010).
Chosen moments of the last gig ever by Paris notorious Freakbeat band: "SCOPE"... on the verge of signing a Major management deal surfing on the 40th anniversary of the "Summer of Love" media celebration and still waiting to produce their first full-length album on Beatball music's Superstar records from Korea!
(The drummer and bassist split while the guitarist and leader of the band was gone on summer holidays to hire a new guitar player and regroup, trying to profit from the new band management opportunity cutting off from the founder of the band ... in the process effectively forming new heavy mod psych band: Terence Christiansen; the organist disgressed from the plot and formed his own new mod R&B influenced band: the Twisted Wheels in 2008... later morphing into current Garage-Psychedelic band: the Soft Explosion with ex bassist of Paris' number one neo-Garage/Psych band: the Men in the Moon)
This set includes three unreleased (yet!) Scope songs:
- Cauchemar Protestator (a wink to Swinging Mademoiselle Stella's classic anti-yéyé 60's track: "Cauchemar Protestateur"); Lyrics by E. Pirot/ Music by A. Hussenet
- Frosty the Snowman (sharing the same title with one of Jan & Dean's ode rare songs, the similarity ends here!); Lyrics & Music by E. Pirot
- The Boy with the Doll (Lyrics & Music by E. Pirot)
