1978 In Concert (Sight And Sound)
CN 3064/S
The last of the Strawbs' BBC In Concert appearances was again recorded at the Golders Green Hippodrome in London, as part of the BBC's "Sight And Sound" series of programmes. In the days before stereo TV transmission, the idea was to have a simutaneous TV and stereo FM radio broadcast. Those who wanted to could turn off the TV sound and listen to the show on the radio in stereo.
This was the post-Deadlines line-up, with newly-recruited Andy Richards, which went on to record Heartbreak Hill. This has come out in audio on various bootlegs, with slightly different track listings.
