Tonight I picked up the Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions double-CD. Disc one features tracks from four sessions recorded in 1969, with some notable omissions apparently, and the second disc is an entire set from a live radio recording, introduced by John Peel.
This is the perfect addition to an already excellent set of albums. I loved the Queen BBC sessions, despite their low-quality, bootleg feel, being as they are not official releases. It's funny how Led Zeppelin let so little of their work to be used and yet they clearly allowed the BBC to release this album. As far as I understand it, Queen have been in a constant clash with the BBC over releasing the sessions.
The first disc contains the only known recording of "The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair", which apparently hasn't even been booted at any gigs.
So far, and I've not listened to all of it yet, the highlight is the 18 minute live version of Dazed and Confused.
