Joe Jackson - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Hammersmith Odeon, London, Britain, 8-15-1982

I have a problem with posting this Joe Jackson BBC album. When I posted Volume 1 in this series, it was taken down due to a copyright violation. Much of that album was sources from the official album "Live at the BBC." Unfortunately, this entire album is sourced from that too. So I figure if I post this, I might get in more trouble. And I don't want to risk it because I don't know how much danger I'm in. For instance, there's no "three strikes and you're out" policy, or any other policy I know of.

As a result, I'm not going to post a link to a download file. However, if it so happens that someone else posts a link in the comments section, I'm not going to stop them. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

But even though I'm not posting a link (cough), I can still talk about this music. Much changed for Jackson since the previous BBC album I posted, which was a 1980 concert. In 1981, he put out an album that was a tribute to swing and jump blues songs from the 1940s, called "Jumpin' Jive." Then, in 1982, he released the album "Night and Day." It was a collection of original songs, but it moved in a jazzier direction, and was especially influenced by the songwriting of Cole Porter. That was the album he was promoting with this concert, and most of the songs are from it.

This concert is 55 minutes long.

The download link has been removed due to copyright issues. However, look at the comments below.

The only thing I know about the photo used on the cover is that it was taken at a concert in New York City in 1982.

  2. Paul,
    Album cover photo is flipped. The top hand on a saxophone is the left hand, not the right hand, so this picture is oriented incorrectly.
    Regards,
    Sax and Guitar
