Georgie Fame & Friends - BBC Sessions, Volume 7: Friday Night Is Music Night, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Cheltenham, Britain, 5-3-2013

Here's another BBC album by Georgie Fame. This one is rather unusual in that it's kind of a celebration of him having over 50 years in the music business. It features some longtime collaborators as special guests: Alan Price, Zoot Money, and Madeline Bell.

Most of the songs were put together in a careful way, in order to tell the story of Fame's career, with interesting tidbits during the banter. For instance, the first song performed was one that he sang at a musical audition back in 1959. 

The special guests didn't have really big roles, but each of them got at least one spotlight song. And most of Fame's most famous songs were performed before the concert was over.

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

This album is an hour and 36 minutes long.

Georgie Fame - BBC Sessions, Volume 6: BBC Four Sessions, LSO St. Luke's, London, Britain, 4-24-2005

Here's another BBC album by British singer Georgie Fame. This is the sixth such album. It's a concert.

Fame, like Price, had his commercial heyday in the 1960s. But he was much more successful than Price, including having three Number One singles in Britain. So he remained popular enough in the 2000s for the BBC to broadcast one of his concerts. He boosted his appeal by including some other 1960s stars as guests: Geno Washington, Zoot Money, and Madeline Bell. Each of them got song to sing lead vocals. Then Money and Bell came back to help with the last song.

This concert is unreleased. It's from a BBC TV series called "BBC Four Sessions." I converted the video to audio then broke it into mp3s.

By the way, the date in the title is almost certainly the broadcast date, not the actual date of recording, which I always prefer to use when it's known.

This album is 58 minutes long.

UPDATE: On November 12, 2025, I updated the mp3 download file. The music is exactly the same. But I found an earlier volume in this series that I'd missed, so the volume number changed. That meant the title, cover art, and mp3 tags changed too.
