Georgie Fame - BBC Sessions, Volume 3 (1966-1968)

Here's the third and final album of George Fame at the BBC in the 1960s.

Fame remained very popular during this time frame. In fact, one of the songs here, "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde," was a number one hit in Britain in 1968 (and his only significant hit in the US).

Seven songs here are officially released, from the album "The Complete Live Broadcasts." "Knock on Wood" and "Sidewinder" come from an appearance on the German TV show "Beat Club" in 1968. Those songs are unreleased. There also are four unreleased songs from BBC studio sessions.

As is typically the case with 1960s BBC sessions, some of the songs had BBC DJs talking over the music. And, as I usually do, I wiped that talking out using the X-Minus audio editing program. There were six such songs this time (each one with "[Edit]" in their titles).

This album is 39 minutes long.

UPDATE: The mp3 download file was updated on June 12, 2022. I found two songs I'd missed, "Someday Man" and "Fire and Rain."
