Set 3 | |
Comment | Originally broadcast in 1987, Westwood One syndicated with the BBC for a series of shows based on the 1960’s output of early radio broadcasts which had brought
the newest and grooviest pop acts onto the London airwaves. Live sets which un- licensed radio stations couldn't deliver to British teenagers transistor radios. In fact, the BBC practically wiped the pirates out by rounding up several singers and bands of the time with presenters who played the straight man to their often wacky, sharp witted guests. Many of these broadcast shows were introduced by DJ and chronicler Andy Peebles, most famously the last British interviewer to have spoken to John Lennon in 1980. It was through this syndication that many fans,and cigar smoking radio executives in the United States, realized that the BBC were on to something by presenting these special type of live sessions to their listeners. The Sixties at the Beeb! is a 12 hour (approx. 10 hrs. uninterrupted) Westwood One radio series produced by the BBC and broadcast in two, six hour parts on May 25 and June 29, 1987. Culled from the vaults of the BBC archives, this BBC program features unique music performances by the top British artists of the decade who have recorded in the BBC studios from 1964 thru 1969, including the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, the Who, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, the Yardbirds, the Animals, Led Zeppelin, Donavan, Them, The Moody Blues, Herman's Hermits, The Troggs, Cream, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and many, many more. These are not the album versions of their songs. Instead, the artists performed these versions specifically for the BBC. Some of this material wasn't even aired in the Sixties and presented in this program for the first time. According to the catalogue pages, most of the recordings used in the series were made originally for the weekly Saturday Club and Top Gear programs on BBC Radio. Also, many of these live versions have ended up on future BBC compilations of a particular band's appearances, such as Beatles at The Beeb, The Who at The BBC, The Kinks,The Yardbirds, David Bowie, etc. Part 1 consists of 7 records (14 sides) covering 1963-1966 and has a massive predominance of Beatles from November and December '64. Other interesting parts include the description of Jeff Beck's first appearance with the Yardbirds and the Rolling Stones first successful attempt in writing a beat song "The Last Time", performed live March 1st, 1965. Part 2 consists of 8 records (16 sides), covering 1963-1966, and has a much wider variety of acts starting with a long Eric Burden of the Animals interview, followed by Pete Townshend of the Who. Part two also features the Beatles very last broadcast from May 1965. Both the sets have commercials and local break grooves, and part two label states "Diet Coke presents!" 15 LPs and well over 160 tracks, plus many artist interview segments from the original transmissions with perennial BBC host Andy Peebles, along with a few newly recorded reflections from artist’s as well vintage Q&A clips by BBC co- host, Brian Matthew. The total programming time for both sets is roughly 12 hours, 55-57 minutes per hour actual time, excluding local breaks. This set has been widely available by torrent and download for many years now, upgrading the source material along the way as technology develops and as the demands insist. Radio shows were first syndicated on reel to reel tape, later on vinyl LP records (still the best fidelity), then CD's, and now digitally. As a result, collectors have a much more difficult time getting their hands on top quality material such as this, and the vintage programs that are available today just keep going up in value. Pitch, phase and levels corrected at Remastered Workshop in 2015, the source of the material are from cassette recording of the FM broadcast from vinyl. With the exception of the two Rolling Stones stereo tracks in Segment 3, all the recordings are in mono. This is about as good as these recording will ever sound, and thanks to RMW, these recording serve as the backbone for this new updated version. Apart from several bonus tracks that are included, the only real difference is the addition of an 11 minute segment that's (unknowningly) not included in the RMW release. That broadcast segment (part 1, segment #9) is devoted entirely to the Beatles, and what would turn out to be their very last session for the BBC. In 1965, the BBC wanted their next show to be another in the "From Us to You" series, but the Beatles felt that the old title no longer represented where they were musically at the time. So they come up with an (somewhat unimagin- ative) alternate title, "The Beatles Invite You to Take a Ticket to Ride". The songs the Beatles recorded during their May 26th, 1965 BBC session include: "Ticket to Ride", "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby", I'm a Loser", "The Night Before", "Honey Don’t", "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", and "She's a Woman". Two of these performances, "Ticket to Ride" and "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", are both included on the 1994 Apple release ‘The Beatles Live at the BBC’ (Disc 2, Tracks 22-23). Much like RMW, this newly acquired segment is also from an analogue cassette dub and 99% free from inferior clicks or other glitches. The two officially released songs "Ticket to Ride" & "Dizzy Miss Lizzyâ€, along with "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby", are among the tracks broadcast in this added segment. Despite promises to the contrary, the Beatles as a group never recorded any additional radio shows for the BBC, or anyone else for that matter. By the following year in 1966, they would become strictly a studio band and focus exclusively on record production rather than touring. |
