Notes: The Complete BBC Radio Sessions 1967 ...and more! [A Prof. Stoned Comp 2020] Recorded: BBC Broadcasting House, London, UK; Monday 13 February 1967 Broadcast: BBC Radio 'Saturday Club'; 18 February 1967 Host: Brian Matthew Producer: Bill Bebb ************************************************************************ FLAC Tags Via xACT 2.53 By OldNeumanntapr ************************************************************************ Note: The BBC have licensed their Hendrix recordings for two official releases: "Radio One" (1988) & "BBC Sessions" (1998). In both instances, 2nd generation tapes were mistakenly sent and used, probably because the BBC has them on file as the master recordings. These tape dubs were made back in the day and were subjected to heavy processing which included EQ, compression, stereo re-channeling and sometimes reverb. As a result, they have obvious lesser fidelity. However, the original mono tapes of nearly all sessions (or at least quality copies thereof) still exist and were used for two early 90s BBC radio specials. The producer of these shows, Richard Skinner, has been the only one so far who cared enough to dig a little deeper in the vaults and he played nearly all material in uninterrupted form on his shows, which has allowed fans to hear the real deal on two rare Westwood 2CDs. So thanks to Mr. Skinner, this compilation rectifies the tape source problem for the most part and also restores the sessions in nearly uncut form. Plus, you get to hear the complete Stevie Wonder jam and a 6-minute interview. Nearly all tracks here are sourced from a digital clone or a transcription disc that was derived from the 1st generation mono mastertapes*. The only sources I'd say are sonically compromised would be Tr. 26 & 33 which come from the processed 2nd generation tapes (the latter with additional reverb), the January 1967 session which was not archived by the BBC (it survives only as a partial but not completely awful off-air recording) and the March 1967 session which has only survived as a 2nd generation compressed/EQ'd tape. I have carefully remastered every track in my mastering studio. Considering these are direct-to-mono recordings, it's no surprise the instrumental and tonal balances are often uneven and some work to make them shine is definitely required. [* The whereabouts of Tr. 10 & 27 are actually unknown, but they seem to be copies of the unprocessed 1st generation tapes. Tr. 27 does not have the EQ/compression/reverb that can be heard on the 2nd generation source and Tr. 10 actually sounds slightly better than a verified 1st generation source on the 1991 Westwood 2CD, which has slightly lesser quality overall than the 1992 WW set.] Audio Sources Supplied & Research by JWB More research & Mastering: PS v1.0: 06-07-2020 v1.1: 15-07-2021 (Tr. 01-10 newly remastered, everything else is the same as v1.0) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: - Hendrix At "The Beeb" (2◊CD, Comp, Transcription) Westwood One Radio Network ñ Show# 92-48 USA 1992 > all tracks minus the following: - BBC Classic Tracks (2◊CD, Comp, Transcription) Westwood One, USA 1991 > 06,16 - BBC Radio (2xCDR, Comp) For Trade Only FTO 008-009 2004 > Tr. 10,11,27,28 - BBC DAT Masters (2xCDR) no label - 2007 > Tr. 25,26,33 - 'off-air radio recording on reel to reel found at car boot sale' > Tr. 00 - various BBC Transcriptions (used to fill out intro's/outro's) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Bonus Material*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 34. Manic Depression 1967-04-17 'Late Night Line Up'- BBC TV, London, UK 35. 'Intro by Simon Dee with false start' 36. Burning Of The Midnight Lamp [live vocal over pre-recorded backing track] 1967-08-24 'Top of the Pops' BBC TV, Lime Grove Studios, London, UK Taken from the EH 2010 "BBC Sessions". Tr. 34 is from 2nd generation tape, while Tr. 35/36 appears to be an off-air recording. I only remastered the latter from this section because it sounds particularly harsh and distorted on the official release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 37. 'Introduction #1' 38. Foxy Lady 39. 'Introduction #2' 40. Catfish Blues 41. Purple Haze 1967-11-10, 'Hoepla' (TV Show), Vitus Studio, Bussum, Netherlands Producer: Wim van der Linden Engineer: Adrie Ottenvanger Host: Roselie Peters A clean mono soundboard recording that is somewhat overlooked. Tr. 38+40 have been sourced from the 1992 Univibes Fanclub release "Calling Long Distance", which despite its bootleggy content was sanctioned by Alan Douglas. All the rest comes from the bootleg "Live In Europe '66-'70" (2010, CD). Everything has been restored and remastered for optimal coherence. Catfish Blues has also been officially released on the 1994 album 'Blues' but appears in better quality here. Three takes of Purple Haze were attempted. This version is made up from the freak-out intro of take 1 (after which it breaks down) and the majority of take 3 but with a 30 fragment from take 2 which is absent on the former. Take 2 was broadcast at the time, while take 3 was intended for a future broadcast that never happened. Sadly, the film footage was wiped and no copy of it has survived. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
