Second call - BBC/XYZ/Toronto tree

[Eddie Edwards <eddie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all those who have signed up for this tree.  I'll be closing
it fairly soon but there's still time to join - see below for details.

The tree will consist of a single C90 containing the following material:

1. March 19th 1969 BBC session, recorded from a BBC World Service AM
broadcast (18 mins).

2. The XYZ sessions, featuring ex-members of Yes and Zep (22 mins).

3. February 2nd 1969 Toronto - now including "Killing Floor" (46 mins).

The BBC material is from an AM broadcast - a previously unavailable
session, the master tape of which has been lost or wiped by the BBC.
Huge thanks to Tomislaw Czarnecki in Poland for uncovering this precious
recording.  Tracks: "What Is And What Should Never Be", "I Can't Quit
You Baby", "You Shook Me" (incomplete) and "Sunshine Woman".

The XYZ sessions are excellent stereo studio recordings.  A couple of
instrumentals (one of which is a prototype of The Firm's "Fortune
Hunter") and a couple of songs complete with vocals.  Thanks to those on
the list who have shed some light on the origins of this material.

The tape of the Toronto show from the first US tour was reviewed in the
Electric Magic fanzine five years ago, but only became available earlier
this year with the release of the Totonka CD "The Rockpile Canada".
Much to my and many other people's annoyance, "Killing Floor" was left
off that CD, but I'm pleased to say the complete tape is now in
circulation.  The sound quality of this one is a bit variable - mostly
quite good for the time but affected in parts by excessive hiss due to
low recording levels (this tape is no better than the CD).

To sign up for this tree, please e-mail me (eddie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
with the following details:

Name
e-mail address
Country of residence (plus state if in USA)
Whether you want to be a branch or leaf

Please state if you want the material on DAT.  If so, say whether you
will be willing to make analog copies for branches (I don't know if this
will be necessary - depends on how many sign-ups I get).
