Alan Price with Georgie Fame - BBC Sessions, Volume 8: Alan Price, Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, Britain, 12-22-1980

Here's another album of Alan Price performing for the BBC. I found four episodes of a short T.V. series he did in 1980, simply called "Alan Price." This is the fourth and last of those. 

This one has a pretty prominent guest role for Georgie Fame, who was in a musical duo with Price in the early 1970s. The three songs they did together here was enough for me to credit this to "Alan Price with Georgie Fame." Linda Taylor also was a part of two duets. She featured in one of the earlier episodes, the one I turned into "Volume 6."

Each of the four episodes from this show had a musical theme. I'll bet you couldn't figure out this one, just from the song titles. Basically, the theme was "great songwriters." More specifically, Price said in his banter, "We're going to devote this program to some of the most significant composers of the last 15 to 20 years." 

That pretty much checks out. Here's the songwriters for each song:

01 Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan
03 Get Away - Georgie Fame
05 Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan & Ellis Walsh
07 Be My Baby - Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich & Phil Spector
09 Fire and Rain - James Taylor
10 American Pie - Don McLean
12 Reach Out, I'll Be There - Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier & Eddie Holland
14 You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' - Phil Spector, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil

Georgie Fame and Louis Jordan are a lot better known for covering songs by others, but that's a minor quibble, I suppose. Most of the others have been featured in my "Covered" series, or will be eventually (knock on wood).

The last song, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," isn't actually from the same show as the rest. It's from another BBC T.V. show, "Fundamental Frolics," aired in 1981. But the song choice fits the great songwriters theme perfectly. Even the guest vocalist on that one, Linda Taylor, appeared on this same episode.

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

This album is 32 minutes long.

The cover image is a screenshot I took from a video of this exact concert. Since Georgie Fame had a prominent role, I wanted to include him as well. He's the one in the light green jacket.
