DESCRIPTION
Four CD set. With a slew of critically acclaimed albums, it was on stage and live in the studio that Stone the Crows really -ew free, as these superb recordings from 1969-1972 attest. The undoubted jewel in their crown was lead singer Maggie Bell. Winner of several Top Female Singer awards in Britain, Bell had a raunchy, gutbucket voice which, although it fell short of the naked emotion and range of Janis Joplin's, probably came closer to her style than any other female singer. When her powerhouse vocals caught the attention of Peter Grant, his visceral reaction - Stone the Crows! -led to the band changing their name. Hewn from studio sessions with John Peel, Bob Harris and Mike Harding, as well as in-concert performances, this 4CD set captures the Crows' burgeoning Blues/Rock prowess. From the original line-up featuring guitarist/songwriter Leslie Harvey, to their latter stages with a young Jimmy McCulloch on guitar, Live At The BBC brings together broadcast versions of tracks from their four albums together with songs often featured in their live sets. Compiled in conjunction with Ashley Wood, Disc 4 includes a further eight recordings from 1970. Remastered by Eroc for optimum sound quality, the package includes a photo-laden booklet with informative notes by Repertoire's Chris Welch and features a new interview with Maggie Bell.
