BUDGIE - Live In London 1974 - FRA Verne Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

Released in a run of 500 copies, European, limited edition of an excellent 53-minute concert (recorded by British radio) played by the Welshmen at a London club in March 1974 - exactly half a year after the release of the third album, and six months before the fourth record. And you can hear it! On drums Pete Boot had just replaced Ray Phillips (unfortunately for only a few months), and he proved himself superbly on the later released LP "In For The Kill". The material from this vinyl had appeared earlier on the CD "Radio Sessions", but fortunately someone has now sat down for a while with the sound, improved it quite clearly (there are now more high tones, though there is plenty of bass as well, sudden differences in the recording level have been evened out) and nicely cut out the poor remnants of the radio presenter's chatter ("Budgie! This is Budgie"). The pressing quality is very good! This is exactly the kind of album that should have come out over 40 years ago as the official live album of this excellent group! It is great that on the back of the sleeve you can see unique photos of this short-lived line-up! A MUST! NEW, sealed.
