ive been listening to a couple of these one last night :family from 1968-69,and later tonight curved air,i met sonja in the mid 70s she signed my lps .these 2 bands were very underated i wonder how many more 60s/70s groups did bbc sessions.

[Rude Boy]

Queen, Led Zep' and Bowie (Officially released), Pink Floyd and Genesis (Unreleased but widely available as boots) and then there's all the "Peel Sessions" stuff too.

Fairport Convention - Heyday BBC Radio Sessions 1968-69. CD came out several years ago.

Steve,
I saw Family live a few times and had all their albums. They were a
good band.

I was at Hyde Park when the Stones (and Family) played live.

I watched Family and then King Crimson (who were amazing)

Then Stones came on and Jagger released the butterfiles for Brian
Jones who had just died, and then I left before Stones played as I
was more interested in the Family than the Stones.

Also saw Blind Faith in Hyde Park (Clapton, Winwood, Baker and Ric
Grech on bass who left Family to join Blind Faith).

What ever happened to Ric Grech ?
