"This double CD of Pentangle's BBC recordings is comprised primarily of rare and previously unheard tracks. From 1968 to 1973, Pentangle were prolific session guests on BBC radio, their unique fusion of sounds providing access to programmes covering folk, pop and progressive rock. When BBC cupboards were trawled for these recordings in the early '90s, they were almost bare -- a mere handful of tracks survived in the tape archive (released on the Band Of Joy/Strange Fruit labels). More recently, however, a further twelve tracks, in pristine sound, were discovered buried deep in the BBC archives. Another two dozen then surfaced in a private collection -- recorded off-air, with a remarkably clear signal, from original AM. Here at last, with previously unreleased songs among classics from all six of their albums, is a representative history of the Pentangle at the BBC. The accompanying 12-page booklet includes comprehensive liner notes by Colin Harper, author of Dazzling Stranger: Bert Jansch and the British Folk and Blues Revival, a full discography of Pentangle's BBC recordings, and several rare photographs."
