Brinsley Schwarz - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, London, Britain, 3-25-1971

Here's the second of seven BBC albums for the band Brinsley Schwarz. This one is a short concert.

Back in 2021, I posted only three BBC albums. At that time, I couldn't find their full BBC concerts. Two official BBC albums were released for the band, "Cruel to Be Kind" and "What IS So Funny about Peace, Love and Understanding." But both of them only presented selected songs from both studio sessions and concerts. As far as I know, none of the band's BBC concerts have been released in full. Many of the songs have been released on those two official albums, plus other archival releases. So I've gathered what I could from the best sounding sources. Then I added material from bootlegs to fill in the gaps, such as the banter between songs.

In 1970, the band put out two studio albums, and then put out another in 1972, but they didn't put out an album in 1971. Perhaps they were planning to but then it got delayed and changed or something, because there are a bunch of unreleased-at-the-time songs from that year, more than any other year for the band. Three out of the five songs performed here were unreleased: "Crime of Passion," "Rock and Roll Station," and "Motorway Madness." Versions only were released decades later, on the "Thinking Back" box set. They actually are taken from this BBC concert, and had most of the audience noise removed. The scanty information from the box set doesn't mention this, but I compared the versions to make sure. 

Note that I've also posted some stray tracks albums for the band. Where there are rarities like those three songs I just mentioned, I've included those on a stray tracks album as well, even when the only version is from a BBC source. 

This album is 27 minutes long.

It's really damn hard finding good color photos of this band. The good news is that I found one for the cover here. The bad news is that it only clearly shows Nick Lowe and Ian Gomm (with the ginger hair). Also, I don't know when it was taken, although I do know it's from the Newlands Tavern in London. I upgraded the photo with the use of the Krea AI program.
