ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST | Ronnie Lane - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert Golders Green Hippodrome London UK 1974

Ronnie Lane - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Golders Green Hippodrome, London, Britain, 12-13-1974

Paul he say: Here's another BBC album by ex-Faces member Ronnie Lane. This is the third out of four that I've found.

Like the previous volume in this series, this is a BBC concert. Both of them are close in time, set about six months apart. But in between, Lane released his album "Anymore for Anymore." So naturally there are a good number of songs performed from that album.

The concert has been officially released in full as part of the album "You Never Can Tell." However, for some reason, it was badly mixed, with the lead vocals too quiet. So I fixed that for all songs using the UVR5 audio editing program.

The concert is a bit strange in that all the talking between songs is done by a BBC DJ, as if Lane could only sing, not talk. But that was the occasional style for BBC concerts in the early 1970s.

This album is 49 minutes long.
