Chris Isaak - BBC in Concert, Town and Country Club, London, Britain, 3-12-1991

Here's something else I came across as part of my BBC project. As far as I can tell, it's the only concert Chris Isaak has performed for the BBC.

This concert arguably took place at Isaak's commercial peak. His biggest hit is "Wicked Game," which was released in 1989. However, it only made a minor impact at the time. Then it was included in the movie "Wild at Heart" in 1990, and got enough buzz to get re-released as a single. It finally reached the US Top Ten in January 1991, just two months before this concert.

Normally, BBC concerts sound excellent. This one, though, wasn't up to their usual standards. That could be due to someone recording it off the radio in less than ideal circumstances. I had a feeling it could be improved, but in a way that was beyond my limited abilities. So I passed this on to my musical associate MZ. He made a number of different tweaks across all the songs to improve the mix and increase the clarity. I think it sounds much better than before, thanks to his work. It still doesn't have excellent sound quality, but it's almost there.

This album is 58 minutes long.
