SPOOKY TOOTH - Live In Berlin 1970 - FRA On The Air Limited Edition - VERY RARE

Limited to 500 copies, an hour-long CD containing, among other things, a great, 43-minute recording of a show by the British progressive band that took place in Berlin in December 1970 (sometimes wrongly labelled as Essen 1969). Note the setlist - three numbers from the LP "Last Puff" (in much better, more dynamic versions) and several 'covers' never played on albums! It was a show from the band's last tour (before it split for three years), and the recording features, among others, the excellent keyboardist John Hawken (ex-Renaissance, later in Strawbs) and the bassist Steve Thompson, known from Bluesbreakers and Stone The Crows. The sound quality is very good (it is a copy of a recording from the mixing desk), it is a great pleasure to listen to (there are no other recordings from this period!), although not perfect. In addition, four very nice recordings are included, including two tracks from 1969 from BBC radio - unreleased on the official CD reissues! This is a real treat for all fans of this, in fact underrated, though for some time quite popular band! Highly recommended!
