Chris Farlowe

Live At The BBC

The complete BBC recordings 1965-1968
Also available on double vinyl in gatefold sleeve
Includes extensive linernotes with comments by Chris Farlowe

Chris Farlowe was one of the hottest young British artists to emerge from the Sixties R&B club scene, much admired by Tom Jones and Mick Jagger. Farlowe’s band the Thunderbirds included top class musicians, notably guitarist Albert Lee and keyboard virtuoso Dave Greenslade, always given generous solo space to match Farlowe’s powerful vocals. The ‘live’ sound of the group in action is captured on this 2 CD set of historic radio show recordings. Among the 27 tracks rescued from the BBC archives, are such seminal performances as ‘Rockin Pneumonia & The Boogie Woogie Flu,’ ‘Mr. Pitiful,’ ‘Think,’ ‘Ride On Baby’ and ‘Paint It Black.’ Chris Farlowe tells about meeting Otis Redding in the informative CD liner notes by Repertoire’s Chris Welch, and describes the excitement of delivering Thunderbirds music nationwide, thanks to the BBC and their professional, high quality broadcasts, now available to be enjoyed, one more time.
