Eclection's lack of commercial success remains a mystery to this day. This selection of BBC Top Gear recordings demonstrates their song-writing strength and musical prowess. Only three tracks appeared on the band's sole studio LP: the remaining nine songs suggest what a second LP might have sounded like. Highly recommended to fans of Fairport Convention, with whom Eclection share some musical DNA. Comes with full recording credits and extensive sleeve notes. Recording quality very good/excellent throughout.

Trevor Lucas and Gerry Conway were members of the folk-rock group Eclection, who released an album in August 1968 on Elektra Records. After the group disbanded in 1969, they formed Fotheringay with Lucas's girlfriend Sandy Denny, who had recently left Fairport Convention. The Fairports were recording mostly traditional folk material at this time and Denny left the group so that she could perform more of her own compositions. The BBC session on side one of this LP features songs from the first Fotheringay album and took place at the Playhouse Theatre on April 13th 1970. The songs on side two were recorded at BBC's Maida Vale Studios in November 1970. They are "off-air" recordings but the sound quality is still very good.

The Beatles played two shows at the Montréal Forum on September 8th 1964, a matinee at 4pm and an evening performance at 8pm and at 6pm they held a press conference for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from the Forum's stage. A local newspaper had reported that somebody was going to kill Ringo, so instead of staying the night in Montréal, they flew out straight after the evening show and arrived at Key West at 3.30am where hundreds of fans were awaiting them. After a day off in Miami, the group performed at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida the following night. 1960's Records have done the best they possibly could with these admittedly lo-fi yet important historical recordings. The source is AM radio and there is considerable distortion on the vocals. The broadcast was faded out halfway through "A Hard Day's Night" so the last two songs of the show, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "Long Tall Sally" were not transmitted.

Appearances on the BBC played a crucial part in the extraordinary UK success enjoyed by Focus in 1972-73. Their live performances on TV's The Old Grey Whistle Test and radio's Sounds Of The '70s were much discussed at the time, and laid the foundation for a trio of hit singles in "Sylvia," "Hocus Pocus," and "House Of The King," all included here. Seven tracks showcase their distinctive mix of flute, keyboards and guitar with occasional yodeling. Sound is excellent throughout and the release comes with full recording details and extensive sleeve notes.

The live sessions presented here were recorded on October 13th 1993 at New George's, a nightclub and concert venue located in San Rafael, California. There's an oft-recounted story how the Beatles used Bobby Parker's riff from his "Watch Your Step" for their hit "I Feel Fine" and Led Zeppelin used it on "Moby Dick" without credit on their second album. That song is of course featured here, which also includes several tracks together with Carlos Santana guesting on guitar. Bobby passed on in October 2013 aged 76 following a heart attack. He left a small but impressive body of blues recordings for listeners to enjoy.

The previous two sets in this series of live broadcast CDs from Georgie Fame covered the years 1964 up to 1967 and this one picks up the story from the start of '68. So, what changes did that year bring in Georgie's music? Impossible to ignore is the release of "The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde" in December '67. Was Georgie ignoring his roots? Not so if you examine this album. It starts off with Georgie's BBC TV show accompanied by the Count Basie Band and continues with Swedish and British radio recordings of Georgie with his Band, a tight eight-piece unit featuring jazz and Blue Flames luminaries such as Eddie Thornton, Johnny Marshall, John McLaughlin and Jon Hiseman.

Only in retrospect have the Pink Fairies taken their rightful place in UK music history. They looked like hippies but acted like punks and played fast, invigorating rock'n'roll at a time when it was in short supply. This collection of ten tracks recorded at four BBC sessions showcases some of their best-known numbers as well as four cover versions never released on the band's studio LPs. Sound quality is excellent throughout apart from the Feb '71 session. Comes with full recording details and sleeve notes.

Four of the tracks included here were not included in the studio LPs that the band released at this time. Recording quality is very good. The LP comes with full credits and extensive sleevenotes.

At its heart the Rendell/Carr Quintet had one of the leading British jazz musicians of the post-war era -- saxophonist Rendell -- whose CV included work with American big hitters such as Woody Herman and Stan Kenton. Around him he had gathered four younger, more adventurous jazzmen, all wishing to push the envelope of the music. This session captures a moment that, without any hint of sleeve note hyperbole, can rightly be called historic. That moment is the April 19th 1965 debut within the Rendell/Carr ranks of pianist Michael Garrick, a musician who was -- again with no little sense of overstatement -- to quite literally change the course of the group's direction, and it can be argued with some conviction, that of the wider sound of British jazz. The overall fidelity on this recording is excellent and pressed on 180gram vinyl.

The Four Seasons were really hitting a creative sweet spot when the tracks on this LP were broadcast via music TV shows such as Popendipity, Hullabaloo, and the Mike Douglas Show. The Sandy Linzer/Denny Randell songwriting/production team crafted stomping, four-to-the-floor Motown-style productions on the hits "Let's Hang On" and "Working My Way Back To You" with the legendary Buddy Salzman creating the distinctive drum sound. Later in 1966, Bob Gaudio came up with an arrangement of Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin" that made the song sound just like a Four Seasons track with its killer hook coda "Never win, never win" added at the insistence of producer Bob Crewe. Frankie Valli began his solo recording career by insisting that his composers provide material that did not require him to use falsetto and his first release was the Bob Crewe/Charlie Calello composition "(You're Gonna) Hurt Yourself." "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" was Valli's first number one, despite Philips having mothballed the finished record for almost a year because they feared it might break the group up. Here are two live versions of Frankie's Christmas 1967 single "To Give," both with full orchestral backing. For a live broadcast on NBC's Kraft Music Hall show in July 1968, the Four Seasons previewed "Saturday's Father," a track to be released on the 1969 psychedelic concept album Genuine Imitation Life Gazette. This LP also includes as a bonus track a hits medley from a 1971 transmission from BBC's Top Of The Pops.

This EP comprises four of the best performances from an exhilarating open-air gig performed in front of 400,000 enthusiastic Parisians. It combines classic tracks ("I Can't Explain," "Summertime Blues") with two new songs ? "Baba O'Riley" and "Relay," the latter unreleased at this point. The recording was made by RTL and transmitted on AM radio, so sound quality is reasonable but not exceptional.

Here are fourteen classic tracks from the Ray Charles repertoire selected from shows he performed around the world from 1961 to 1970: Paris, Antibes, Prato (Italy), São Paulo, Stockholm, with a couple of TV appearances for good measure (plus one from Newport). "If it's really something good that was not on the record, that's okay, because when I perform, I can make the performance of the song better than the record was." So said the man himself and as you can hear on this record, nothing can quite match the excitement of the Ray Charles Show from the sixties. Sound quality is excellent throughout.
