The Incredible String Band - BBC Sessions, Volume 5: 1972-1973 | Albums That Should Exist

 

The Incredible String Band - BBC Sessions, Volume 5: 1972-1973

Paul says : Here's another album that I'm posting due to the big BBC poll from a few months ago. It's an album of studio sessions from the Incredible String Band. 

Note that, right now, I'm concentrating on posting albums by Richard Thompson and the Incredible String Band for that poll. I've got two more from this band after this one, and lots more from Thompson. Once I finish with those two, XTC and Elvis Costello will probably be my next main targets from that poll.

This album consists entirely of music from four BBC studio sessions in 1972 and 1973. Seven of the 14 songs - exactly half - have been officially released on the official album "Across the Airwaves." Most of the sessions are split, with some songs appearing from a session and some not. However, the sound quality is pretty close between the released and unreleased ones.

This album is an hour and three minutes long.
