Album Description

One of the more intriguing components of the blues-rock movement was Spooky Tooth. They differed from other bands in that they utilized two very distinctive, talented vocalists (Mike Harrison and Gary Wright) and they featured an ominous yet potent organ sound. <P>By 1968, they had broken through commercially in England and were on the verge of releasing their most popular material. It was at this time that they performed on several editions of BBC's radio program Top Gear. <P>Six of the nine tracks presented on BBC Sessions are taken from those appearances and showcase a band poised at the brink of big-time success. An aural snapshot of a well known band at that juncture of its recording career is very rare. <P>~Spooky Tooth's "BBC Sessions" is that rare photograph~ <P>As a special bonus, three additional tracks are included, one an obscure 1966 recording from Deep Feeling (featuring Spooky Tooth guitarist Luther Grosvenor) and two alternate mixes from the Spooky Tooth's 1999 reunion release Cross Purpose. <P>Music from Deep Yesterday, Classic Yesterday and Reunion Yesterday…BBC Sessions is everything a title like this should be. <P>A Blue Storm Music release.

Album Description

Taken from several shows when the band performed on the BBC's Sessions & Top Gear radio programs, this Blue Storm Music release is perhaps an aural snapshot of the band's best era, featuring 11 tracks, including the bonus tracks 'Better By You Better Than Me' & 'Soulful Lady'.

Why even bother? Put in some effort next time. Anyone who shells out (current price) for Spooky Tooth knows a thing or two about what is already in circulation. Don't waste you money or time with this. Even the art, liner notes are pathetic.
