Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & the Trinity - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: 1966-1968

Here's the first of two albums of BBC sessions for Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & the Trinity. 

Sadly, like too many 1960s musical artists these days, this band's BBC recordings still remain entirely unreleased (unless you count "grey market" releases, which I don't). Also, I couldn't find some key songs I figured belonged in a collection like this (such as "Save Me," which they frequently did live). So while a majority of the songs here are from BBC sessions, I went looking for other TV or radio appearances and added the good songs I could find from those. All of those performances also remain officially unreleased (again, unless you could the grey market releases). It seems this band was especially popular in France, because most of the extra songs I found come from French TV shows. 

The first song is from a BBC session in 1966 that took place without Julie Driscoll. Tracks 2 through 4 are from a late 1967 BBC session. Tracks 5 through 7 are from two French TV shows and a British TV show. Tracks 8 and 9 plus track 12 are from three different BBC sessions in 1968. That just leaves tracks 10 and 11, which are from another French TV show.

The sound quality for these is usually very good, but not always excellent. Some are a bit muddy. Also, a handful of the actual BBC performances suffered the usual problem of BBC DJs talking over the beginnings or ends of songs. You can see which ones I fixed due to the "[Edit]" markings in their names. I used the X-Minus sound editing program to wipe the talking while keeping the underlying music.

This album is 46 minutes long. 

UPDATE: On May 17, 2025, I drastically overhauled the mp3 download file. I found some songs I'd previously missed, enough to split one BBC album into two. So this is Volume 1 after the split.

For the two stray tracks albums I made, I used cover photos of only Driscoll and Auger. But for this one, I found a photo of the whole band. I don't know when or when it's from exactly. I changed the color of the background curtains a bit to better fit with the other colors. I later used the Krea AI program to improve the quality.
