Description
• New 3 disc (2CD / Blu-ray) clamshell box of radio and television performances by Renaissance between 1974 and 1978.

• Featuring a previously unreleased BBC In Concert performance from 1978, a previously unreleased performance for Swiss TV in 1974 and the 1977 BBC Sight & Sound In Concert TV and radio concert.

• With an illustrated booklet.

Aside from being a fine act on record, Renaissance were also a marvellous live band, featuring the sublime vocals of singer Annie Haslam.

Although Esoteric’s expanded Renaissance reissues featured BBC recordings, this set comprises material previously omitted from these releases. ‘Can You Hear Me? Broadcasts 1974-1978’ includes the stereo radio version of the band’s 1977 BBC Sight & Sound In Concert performance (recently discovered in the archives and issued on CD for the first time) and a previously unreleased performance for BBC Radio’s In Concert from October 1978, both newly remastered from the BBC masters. Also included is a region free video Blu-ray disc which features the band’s appearance on the Swiss TV show Kaleidospop from 1974 (previously unreleased), the complete 1977 BBC TV Sight & Sound In Concert performance and a performance of Northern Lights from BBC TV’s Top of the Pops show.

‘Can You Hear Me? Broadcasts 1974-1978’ is a collection of wonderful live performances by Renaissance and is an essential addition to their fine body of work.
