Here's what I wrote about it a few years ago for Roxyrama... - ---------------------------------------------- Session date: 6 November 1972 Transmission date: 9 November 1972, Sounds Of The Seventies with John Peel. Tracks: The Bob (Medley), For Your Pleasure, The Bogus Man Part 2. It is doubtful whether this session still survives in the BBC archive, over the years many tapes have been lost and destroyed, and this is the only one of Roxy's sessions that has not been repeated by the BBC. Recorded at the Corporation's Langham studio and produced by Beeb veteran Bernie Andrews, we can only speculate how the session may have sounded. The 'in concert' show recorded in August probably gives a fair indication of how The Bob (Medley) and The Bogus Man Part 2 (Grey Lagoons) may have sounded. The only other point of reference for the latter song and For Your Pleasure is a performance for BBC television on a show called 'Full House' transmitted the same month. On this show the performance of The Bogus Man Part 2 (Grey Lagoons) is rockier than the album version, and For Your Pleasure is very similar to the official version, with subtle differences on Ferry's vocal phrasings and Manzanera attempting the solo two octaves higher. If the BBC sessions are ever granted an official release it will be interesting to see if this particular session makes the final cut. - ---------------------------------------------- Simon ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 15:17:41 -0400 (EDT) From: leesullivanart@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] The missing BBC session Well done Simon. Amazing find and thanks for making it available for all of us. Not everyone would! So, whilst you're searching for all those lost Doctor Whos and the TOTP Pyjamarama, do you also have any info regarding the session (I can remember hearing, recording and, ulp, wiping) from FYP era, bbc afternoon Radio 1 prog and they played live including EOY, again, I think. Thanks again! Lee S Displacement activity a problem?

This mix features the songs covered on Frantic and Olympia, plus the rather generous stack of non-album and bonus tracks that have been released between 1997 and 2010. http://8tracks.com/simongmusic/frantic-olympia-and-beyond-1997-2010-the-originals Just a few 'sleeve notes'... Going Down - although the original version was released by Freddie King, I've opted for the more laid-back JJ Cale version as I think this is probably the inspiration for Bryan's version. The Lambton Worm - as a twist, I've included Ferry's version of this as I know it's hard to get hold of. Also, the other versions I've encountered aren't up to much. As I've written on the mix itself, some of it is 'source material'. It's impossible to get the 'originals' of some of the songs on this mix (you know which ones they are). Unless someone's got a fully working TARDIS... And yes, I've deliberately not included anything from As Time Goes By and Dylanesque. Stay tuned for those... but don't hold your breath! I think that's everything. Enjoy!
