Bridget St. John - BBC Radio 1968-1976

Bridget St. John was one of the first artists to be signed to John Peel's Dandelion label in 1969. She recorded 3 albums there before she was signed to Chrysalis Records in 1974. All of those original records have recently been reissued on CD, to wide acclaim.Throughout the late 1960's and early 1970's, Bridget made many unique recordings for BBC Radio, mostly for John Peel. None of those recordings have ever been released on CD until now. Compiled by Bridget herself, this double CD features the best of her BBC radio concerts and sessions, including her very first Peel session, recorded in 1968. Several of these songs are released here for the first time.This double CD set is packaged in a lavish full colour digipack with an accompanying 20 page colour booklet featuring extensive liner notes, an interview with Bridget, plus several rare photographs from Bridget's own archive.The tracks are a mixture of solo and band recordings, and three songs (Disc 2, 14-16) are duets with Kevin Ayers. These CD's have been digitally re-mastered by Ron Geesin (who also produced Bridget's second 'Dandelion' LP in 1971).Track Details:CD1 Tracks: 1-8 In Concert 1975 / 9-16 In Concert 1971 / 17-22 Night Ride session 1968 / 23 Top Gear session 1974.CD2 Tracks: 1-9 In Concert 1974 / 10-12 Top Gear session 1976 13-16 Top Gear session 1969 / 17 Peter Sarstedt session 1969 / 18 Bob Harris session 1972).
