The Incredible String Band - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: 1969-1970
Here's a second volume of the Incredible String Band performing for the BBC. Like Volume 1, it consists entirely of studio sessions. In 1967, the band consisted only of singer-songwriters Robin Williamson and Mike Heron. But by the time of this album, Licorice McKechnie and Rose Simpson joined as well, as you can see from the cover image. They released the albums "Changing Horses" in 1969 and "Looking Up" in 1970. In 2007, the archival album "Across the Airwaves: BBC Radio Recordings 1969-74" was released. Seven of the songs here come from that, while the rest remain unreleased. Those seven are the first four, plus tracks 9 through 11. It's obvious that that album wasn't meant to be complete, even with sound quality considerations, because the unreleased tracks 12 and 13 are from the exact same BBC session as three that were chosen. A bunch of the songs on this album had the lead vocals low in the mix. I fixed that for all the songs except the first four, which sounded fine. As usual, I used the UVR5 audio editing program to do that. This album is an hour and four minutes long. 01 Fine Fingered Hands (Incredible String Band) 02 All Writ Down (Incredible String Band) 03 Dust Be Diamonds (Incredible String Band) 04 Theta (Incredible String Band) 05 The Letter (Incredible String Band) 06 This Moment (Incredible String Band) 07 Gather Round (Incredible String Band) 08 Waiting for You (Incredible String Band) 09 Empty Pocket Blues (Incredible String Band) 10 Beautiful Stranger (Incredible String Band) 11 Won't You Come See Me (Incredible String Band) 12 Flowers of the Forest (Incredible String Band) 13 Dark Eyed Lady (Incredible String Band) https://pixeldrain.com/u/PEVAtdFC alternate: https://bestfile.io/en/SHImL7mI3Tgkrfn/file All I know about the cover photo is that it's from 1970.

#NowPlaying John Surman, "Way Back When." Incredible 1969 recording of UK guitarless proto-fusion, not too far from "Miles in the Sky."

Well, this is disturbing (re UK-based indy radio network NTS).
A rare exclusive today, detailing how NTS has taken out a loan with Universal that, if defaulted on, will see the major taking ownership of the entire NTS business: properties, IP, the lot. Not a great development for the indie music landscape.

**_Television - Ork Loft Rehearsal 1975_** Television parted ways with Richard Hell in the spring of ‘75 and the band quickly reconvened with Blondie’s Fred Smith taking over the bass space. “All I know is when we got Fred it clicked immediately,“ Tom Verlaine said of the lineup switchup. "At the first rehearsal me and Lloyd [were] looking at each other and thinking ‘God, this is a real relief.’ It was like having a lightning rod you could spark around. Something was there that wasn’t there before.” Of course, Television still had a ways to go before they’d record _Marquee Moon_ in late '76. That’s one of my favorite things about tracking the band through their early days — hearing just how much effort they put into refining these songs, futzing around with arrangements, developing that unmistakable interplay. They _did the work_ , in today’s parlance. And it paid off, obviously. So! Today, let’s check out a fuzzy Television rehearsal tape from an undisclosed date in 1975; the band is back in the Ork Loft (where those famed Hell-era rehearsals also took place) in Chinatown, playing some already fairly fully formed tunes — "Marquee Moon,” “Prove It” — alongside fresher material like “O Mi Amore” and “Torn Curtain.” And hey, the recording kicks off with an untitled jam, sorta Beefhearty maybe? Are there more rehearsal tapes like this in the Verlaine archives? Let’s hope so. (And hey again, for more of this kind of thing, check out the Summer 1975 demos.) _Photo:Godlis_
