A twoforone, plus at long last the legendary BBC Radio One In Concert session of 1972, with both Holdsworth and the late Ollie Hassell in combat. This is a very rare example of Holdsworth playing as a duo in real time and alive - too often his recorded duo work has been done as overdubs.

I've reviewed the new album already EL, concentrating on the BBC sessions - Holdsworth and Hassell jammin' together, doesn't get much better for a 1972 recording. The BBC Sessions tend to be extended versions of tunes fomr the first studio album, and to my ears sound much better and looser
