Description
This RARE First Pressing, Broadcast Edition of early James Taylor and Joni Mitchell together in concert was recorded broadcast live from the Paris Theatre in April 1970 and reissued on vinyl for air play worldwide for weekly programming. This is an authentic BBC original ultra high quality pressing with green labels, not one of the common bootleg BBC Discs. These were made in extremely limited numbers and sent to UK and US radio stations, which played them once or twice and then discarded or returned them to the BBC. Consequently they are extremely rare and sought after. This is in Very Good++ condition and comes with the original BBC sleeve. (I DO NOT CLEAN THE VINYL FOR PHOTOS)
The BBC Pop Spectacular series (later to evolve to be the "In Concert" series) appears to have started sometime in mid/late 1970’s. These shows were broadcast in England on Saturday at 6:30 pm. Subsequently, in 1972, they began arranging for the recording of 'new' performances to be specifically used for the BBC Pop Spectacular series. When James Taylor and Joni Mitchell played together at London's Paris Theatre in 1970 the recordings, taped by the BBC and broadcast as one of John Peel's Sunday Shows and later reissued worldwide for radio syndication.
