WILD TURKEY / WOLF - British Progressive Rock BBC Live In Concert 1973 - UK Maida Vale / Verne Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

A genuinely sensational album from the Maida Vale label, limited to 500 copies, combining two performances of nearly 30 minutes each (in excellent sound quality) by British progressive bands, recorded by the BBC in 1973 and originally released on ultra-rare promotional vinyl by the BBC Transcription Service. Wild Turkey, led by the former Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick, presented probably their best material (three unknown tracks + one originally from the second LP), which unfortunately did not make it onto the unreleased third record. Please listen to these recordings on YouTube! Three of the tracks once appeared as bonuses on the CD "Turkey", but here there is one more track. Wolf, on the other hand, led by the former Curved Air leader - the violinist Darryl Way - play veeery energetic, prog-rock music in the style of early, highly wound-up and slightly more jazzy Kansas. John Etheridge (later in Soft Machine) played guitar, and Ian Mosley (later in Trace, and from 1983 in Marillion) played drums. This is a piece of wonderful top-shelf progressive playing, and please do not be put off by the fact that it is supposedly a compilation, but simply give yourself great pleasure! A must! P.S. I also recommend the unique record by the groups Satisfaction and Tapestry, made up of two performances (from 1971) - also released by Maida Vale!
