BBC Sessions is an album of recordings by the rock group The Jimi Hendrix
Experience, released on MCA Records on June 2, 1998. It contains all the
surviving tracks from their various appearances on BBC radio programmes, such
as Saturday Club and Top Gear, recorded in 1967. At a BBC radio 'session', a
practice still alive in British radio today, a band is required to record
material in a studio quickly with
limited overdubbing, largely limited to and relying upon their live
sound. Many groups as part of this tradition choose to record some songs that
are not part of their main repertoire. The album also includes the only two
surviving Hendrix UK TV soundtracks (both BBC) Late Night Line Up ("Manic
Depression" only survives) and the 1969 Lulu Show (complete).
BBC Sessions therefore offers its own unique example of the Experience sound,
and a revealing glimpse of a song from their early repertoire Howlin' Wolf's
"Killing Floor" and their only known studio recording of Bob Dylan's "Can You
Please Crawl Out Your Window?".
Apart from the "live" in studio versions of well-known Experience
songs, there are several unique studio recordings of songs, i.e.
"Driving South" (x3), "Hoochie Coochie Man", "Catfish Blues", "Hound
Dog", "Hear My Train a Comin'"(x2) and a couple of novelty tracks: the
amusing parody of a BBC Radio 1 jingle "Radio One", and a recording with a
young Stevie Wonder on drums (a cover of Wonder's own "I Was Made to Love
Her"). It also includes the sound track from the band's infamous appearance on
Lulu's television show in 1969.
The Top of the Pops references were overdubbed by Brian Mathews onto Top Gear
recordings for the BBC produced Swedish (English language) radio show of the
same name. The original recordings minus Brian no longer exist.
This collection has been re-released as part of the Hendrix Family's project to
remaster Jimi's discography.
