Volume One: In Session

Product Description
Having worked the underground folk clubs of the 1960s the Strawbs became pioneers of the early 70s prog rock scene, uniquely merging the two scenes together. They enjoyed critical and commercial success and played with some of the finest members of both scenes including Sandy Denny and Rick Wakeman. This collection combines all their BBC sessions on one CD for the first time. It charts their rise to success and contains "In Session" versions of tracks from both their folk and prog rock periods.

I love this band. Saw them Live in NYC and in NJ back in the day. Very well laid out discs and these will be added to my Strawbs collection.

Only if the 1974 stuff on Vol. 2 is in stereo and good sound quality.
