About This Album
It's wonderful to finally have an official release of the late Judee Sill's recordings done for the BBC during 1972 and 1973. They have been bootlegged for years, passed from person to person among the -- then few -- faithful on ragged umpteenth-generation cassettes. When Rhino's Handmade imprint officially released her two albums with supplemental material, the way was created for the rest of her recorded output to see the light of day in an organized fashion. In 2005, San Francisco's Water Records got out her long unreleased third album in a deluxe package, and they have also handsomely put together these tapes in one place. First and foremost, the disclaimer: there is repetition here, especially the material from her debut album. And for whatever reason, producers Filippo Salvadori and Carlton P. Sandercock have broken up the actual concert sessions, interweaving them for what one presumes are aesthetic reasons. In other words, the songs recorded for the BBC's In Concert (with Sill playing solo on guitar and piano) are interspersed with one cut from its program In Session with Bob Harris recorded two weeks later. The other cuts from the Harris sessions are intercut with another In Concert program recorded a year later.
