Superb recording made at the BBC's Paris Theatre in Lower Regent Street, London, which captures Bob Marley and the Wailers on the cusp of global fame. This show was probably the band's first major national radio exposure in the UK. In April 1973 the band had released their first major label album "Catch a Fire" from which eight of these songs are taken. The remaining two would appear on the next album "Burnin'" which was released in October 1973 I've split the announcer's between-song speech (in which he explains the origins of the songs and Rastafarianism as well as introducing the band) into separate tracks so these can be omitted if you want nothing but the music on a play-list.

Very good FM radio recording. This gig was recorded just a month after the release of the band's sixth album 'The Head on the Door' which pushed The Cure to (probably) the peak of their popularity. Eight of that album's songs are performed live here, along with earlier classics.

Good quality FM radio broadcast. The Police were really hitting the big time at this point, following the release of second album 'Reggatta de Blanc' and their first number one single 'Message in a Bottle' and this captures them in a homecoming (for Sting at least) show in Newcastle. The sound is a little muddy here and there, but it is a very old tape...

Superb FM radio broadcast. Although fairly readily-available, I've not seen any versions which contain 'Emerald.' This recording, which was made when the show was re-broadcast in the late 1980s, does include 'Emerald.' The band were touring just prior to the release of the 'Renegade' album.
