As the Third Ear Band's manager in the Eighties, I've been able to ask to BBC Archive service which TEB radio broadcasts are available in their archives.
Differently from that list published in the past (based on a book edited by Ken Garrer (read in this archive at the page http://ghettoraga.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-many-teb-unrealized-tracks-left.html), it seems the only broadcast available is just this:
"STUART MACONIE'S FREAK ZONE
Date: 29/03/2009
Weekly music show presented by Stuart MACONIE. Includes
University of the Strange, live guests, archive performances and sessions.

LIVE FREAKS: Third Ear Band (archive performance)"
The Broadcast Media Researcher Information & Archives Jeffrey Smith writes me that "the programme I emailed you is all we have listed under THIRD EAR BAND in our archive - I cannot find anything else" but, because I've replied him with the quote of the Garner's book on "John Peel sessions", he promises me "I will ask radio 1 to see if they have any other recordings of the band".
Anyway he cannot tell where, when and what the TEB played on that live freaks "archive performance"...

"Hyde Park Raga" and "Druid" from the 1969 Top Gear session. Nothing new, folks. I for one was deeply disappointed.
ReplyDeleteHi Luca, do you know that Clve Kingsley recorded a new composition, you can listen to it here: http://soundcloud.com/clive-kingsley/valley-call
ReplyDeleteThanks, I didn't know it. You're a real detective!
ReplyDeleteOn this track he seems to confirm his vocation for the Indian raga...
Yes, indeed. Too bad he only plays the sinthesizer, I was curious to hear his guitar playing.
