The Alan Price Set - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: 1967-1969

Here's the second half of what Alan Price did at the BBC in the 1960s.

For the first album, about half of the songs came from an official album. In this case, only the first two performances have been officially released. Generally speaking, the songs are from proper BBC sessions. There are two exceptions though. "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" and "Rip It Up" are from the German TV show "Beat Club." And the last two songs are from the BBC, but a BBC TV show instead of radio shows like all the rest.

By chance, most of the songs here were plagued with the problem of BBC DJs talking over the starts and ends of the songs. Heck, even one of "Beat Club" songs had a DJ talk in German over the beginning of it. But, as I usually do, I used the audio editing program X-Minus to wipe the DJ talking while keeping the underlying music.

Note that during this time Price was quite taken by the songwriting of Randy Newman who was still unknown and hadn't put out any albums yet. So there are a few Newman covers here (including one he otherwise never did, "1941"). Also, like the previous BBC album, there are a number of songs here that he never recorded in the studio. Those include: "Take Me in Your Arms and Love Me," "I Was Made to Love Her," "Rip It Up," "The Letter," "Satisfied Street," "1941," "I Keep Forgettin'," "Here, There and Everywhere," "Walk on By," and "Still Searching for Love." So, like last time, that's about half of the songs.

This album is 51 minutes long.

UPDATE: On January 1, 2023, I updated the mp3 download file. I added the songs "Falling in Love Again," "I Can't Turn You Loose," and "Walk On By," which I'd previously missed. A different version of "I Can't Turn You Loose" is on Volume 1.
