Johnny Kidd & The Pirates - The Lost BBC Sessions & More Rare Trax (1994) @ 192

 


Repost

The first twenty-one tracks are taken from the legendary BBC "Saturday Club" shows hosted by Brian Matthew which were recorded between 1959 and 1961.  They exist today on "transcription" discs that were recorded at the time for possible overseas sales and from which some good restorations have been made.    These BBC tracks later appeared on a single CD from the mysterious "Blakey Records" under the title "At The BBC" in about 1995, but here saw their first release.  The second half (or nearly two-thirds) of the CD contains twenty studio tracks, all are in mono, and are a good cross-section from the group's EMI career which compliments the radio recordings well. 

And it is the BBC recordings we are primarily interested in here as they represent much of the group's stage material of the time, the often single-take nature of the recordings giving a live feel.
