Country Joe McDonald - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, London, Britain, 5-4-1972

Just yesterday, I posted "BBC Sessions, Volume 1" by Country Joe McDonald. But I already made a drastic change to it. After posting it, a commenter named SamApplePie sent me a bunch of BBC material by McDonald. I had most of it, but there was some studio session material from 1977 that I didn't have yet. So I split that album in two. I've just reposted "Volume 1," and it's a lot shorter than before. Don't worry, the rest of that material, and then some, will appear in a later volume. So if you downloaded that one already, I highly recommend you re-download it.

By the way, thanks to SamApplePie for that material. 

Now, let's get to this album. This is a short acoustic concert recorded for the BBC radio show "In Concert." It was an hour-long show, and McDonald shared the show with the band Brinsley Schwarz. I edited the first track, because the BBC DJ Alan Black mixed comments about McDonald with comments about Brinsley Schwarz. I just kept the McDonald bits. I also removed some audience noise in the background. So that's what that one track has "[Edit]" in its title.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is close to excellent. 

This album is 35 minutes long.
