Billy J Kramer BBC tracks collection wanted.

Post by Gredel21 »

Hi All
I have been listening to the Best of Billy J Kramer and the dakota's lately.

Wondering if there was a bootleg of all the BBC tracks ever collected.
I know about the 2 cd set by London Calling - on air 1965 to 1967

I know the BBC issued several different cds done by The Beatles ( Of Course ) the Kinks,The Hollies,The Who,The Rolling Stones., The Yardbirds.
but not too many by lesser known groups that were part of the British Invasion.

Thanks
Greg

Sorry I can't help with your original question Greg, but FYI there is also a compilation of BBC sessions by Gerry & the Pacemakers. Similar status to Billy J Kramer, you'd think they'd do a similar release for him...

EDIT: There is a 2CD compilation, which is listed on discogs as a bootleg but readily available to buy on amazon etc

Manfred Mann, Small Faces, etc etc.

First, I'd suggest the Prof Stoned's blog, he has assembled some outstanding collections of BBC recordings for many top '60s bands.

Second, do a search for "bbc" and also "on air" + flac on yandex.ru. Quite a number of such releases were / are available for download, for many many Sixties bands.
