Procol Harum - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: 1968-1971

Here's the second of five BBC albums from the British band Procol Harum. Just like the first volume, all of the songs come from a series of BBC studio sessions.

Nine of these performances have been officially released as bonus tracks. The other seven (tracks 4 and 7 through 12) still sound pretty good.

There's not much else to say here. Procol Harum got lucky in that there are no examples of BBC DJs talking over the music. The song "Nothing That I Didn't Know" fades out in the middle of singing, which is a bummer, but I left it like that.

As far as I can tell, the band didn't do more BBC studio sessions after this. But they did have three full concerts broadcast by the BBC in the 1970s, so that's what the other albums in this series will consist of.

This album is 54 minutes long.
