On February 15, 2011 EMI will release a two-CD set chronicling all of Robin Trower’s appearances on the BBC between 1973 and 1975.
Included are his first John Peel session from March 1973 along with later Peel appearances, sessions with Bob Harris and a complete BBC in Concert special from 1975.
The set includes all new liner notes by Malcolm Dome of Classic Rock magazine, including an interview with Trower.
The lineup of Trower’s band during this time had Robin on guitar, James Dewar on bass & vocals, and Reg Isidore on drums for the ’73 and ’74 sessions and Bill Lordan on drums in ’75.
Robin Trower at the BBC 1973-1975 is the most comprehensive collection to date of Robin Trower’s recordings for the BBC. From his first John Peel session in March 1973 whilst promoting his debut solo album for Chrysalis Records, ‘Twice Removed From Yesterday’, featuring ‘Man Of The World’, ‘Daydream’, ‘Sinners Song’ and the album’s title track, through recordings for Bob Harris including such classics as ‘Day Of The Eagle’ and ‘Alethea’, as well as two further sessions for John Peel. This 2 CD set is completed by a concert recorded for the BBC in January 1975, performing songs from his first three LPs, including breakthrough album Bridge Of Sighs and his then new album, For Earth Below.
All tracks have been included for their historical importance, and to present a complete anthology of Robin Trower’s BBC sessions from 1973-1975.
