The Incredible String Band - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: In Concert, Paris Theatre, London, Britain, 11-23-1972

Once again, here's a BBC album by the Incredible String Band. It's a short concert from 1972.

I'm posting this due to the poll from some months back about which musical acts had the greatest demand for more BBC albums. I'm still having a hard time getting into the music of this group, but I only have one more album to go and then I can post albums from others chosen in that poll. 

This is all from one concert. However, only some of the tracks have been officially released, specifically: tracks 2, 6, 10, and 12. Those all appeared on the "Across the Airwaves" BBC compilation. But a bootleg source fills in the gaps and has the same sound quality. Actually, the vocals were low in all the unreleased songs, but I fixed that using the UVR5 program, so you shouldn't notice a difference in the sourcing now.

This album is 38 minutes long.
