Robin Trower
The John Peel BBC Radio Shows
March 73 - Jan 75

Five radio shows recorded between March 73 and Jan 75. These are "live' in the BBC studios. The background to these recordings : Musicians Union    rules, intended to keep musicians working, limited radio airplay of 'recorded music'. This led to this "Live " BBC recordings that were broadcast to get around the limited per day air time play. These 'Live ' sessions could be played twice per day without affecting the stations limiting air time play.  The BBC had a longstanding practice of recording musicians " In session", a procedure which falls half way between making a studio recording and recording a live show. The sessions averaged 2-3 hours including set up etc and  usually resulted in recording of four or five songs. A backing track  was usually rcorded in mono without vocals or guitar solos. The backing track was then played back to the band thru headphones.  John Peel was a rock DJ who had a program called " Top Gear ".
