Joe Jackson - BBC Sessions, Volume 1B: In Concert, Guildhall, Portsmouth, Britain, 12-14-1979

Bad news: the Joe Jackson BBC Sessions, Volume 1 that I posted last week was taken down due to the copyright police. That's concerning, because that probably means I'll run into trouble with the next couple of Jackson BBC albums I plan on posting, since material from all of those are on an official BBC album. I guess I'll test the waters soon with the next one and see if there's trouble. The whole copyright check thing seems incredibly random, to be honest. 

So here's how I plan on getting around that album being banned. First off, I've posted it at YouTube. Speaking of random copyright checking, that's been up at YouTube for a few days and hasn't had any copyright problems, even though this blog and YouTube are both owned by Google. But anyway, here's the link to that:

Joe Jackson: BBC Sessions, Volume 1- Hatfield Polytechnic, Britain, 11-29-1979 (FULL CONCERT) - YouTube

If you go to the bottom of the text I posted there, you'll find the download link.  That's a workaround I'll probably be using with other copyright issues like this in the future.

But also, this is a very unique case in that, as I mentioned in my write-up about Volume 1, Jackson did two concerts for the BBC within two weeks of each other that were very similar. I wasn't planning on posting the second one, since most of the songs played were on the other one, and it's significantly shorter. But I'm making lemonade out of lemons and posting it here as "BBC Sessions, Volume 1B." It's an alternate, in case you don't get the "real" Volume 1, for whatever reason. The nice thing about this other show, in Portsmouth, is that none of the songs on it made it to Jackson's official BBC album, so I'm hoping and assuming there won't be any copyright trouble with this one.

Note that there were four songs played here that weren't on the Volume 1 show. "Geraldine and John," "Kinda Kute," "The Harder They Come," and "Pretty Boys." I've put those four at the end of Volume 1 as quasi bonus tracks. So if you have that, it's pretty easy to go without this one.

This album is 32 minutes long.
