Pentangle - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: 1968-1969

Here's the second of six volumes of Pentangle at the BBC.

As I mentioned with Volume 1, two official albums of the band's BBC recordings have been released. Those two didn't help much with this, however. Only three songs here are officially released, tracks 1, 2, and 7, from "The Lost Broadcasts" album. 

However, that doesn't matter much, because all the songs here are from proper BBC studio sessions, and the unreleased ones sound about as good as the released ones. (Most of the unreleased ones come from "Live On Air," which is an unauthorized "grey market" release.)

Two of the songs suffer from the typical BBC problem of DJs talking over the music (the ones with "[Edit]" in their titles). I applied the usual X-Minus audio editing program treatment that wiped out the talking while keeping the underlying music.

While Fairport Convention mixed folk and rock, Pentangle was more about mixing jazz and rock, since most of the band members came from jazz backgrounds. I think both styles are interesting, though I must admit I prefer Fairport Convention in their peak years.

This album is 44 minutes long.
