Brinsley Schwarz - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: In Concert, London, Britain, 3-30-1973

Here's another BBC album by the British band Brinsley Schwarz. This time, it's a short concert from 1973.

In 1973, the band released the studio album "Please Don't Ever Change." But that was in October 1973, six months after this concert. Still, they played two songs that would appear on that album, "Hooked on Love," and "Why Do We Hurt the One We Love." 

Many of the other songs wouldn't be released on album at all, at least not until archival albums decades later. For instance, "Do the Cod (The Thirty Pounder)" was an original instrumental that wouldn't get released until the "Thinking Back" box set in 2023. "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" is a soul music classic. This version of it would eventually be released on the "Cruel to Be Kind" collection of BBC performances. They never did a studio version, it seems. That's the exact situation with "Wait" (this performance being the only one released, on the "Cruel to Be Kind album). Note that's the same song done by the J. Geils Band, not the Beatles song.

This album was quite short, only 24 minutes long. So I decided to add two songs at the end. It so happens I found two songs the band performed on an unknown French TV show in 1973. Since they were different songs from all the other ones on this album, they made an ideal fit. They, like most of the rest of this album, remain officially unreleased. 

This album is 32 minutes long.
