A friend's father was an engineer at the Beeb and he went to see them record one or other of those sessions.
I believe a great strength was that nobody had any idea what they COULD do to those tapes so nothing was done and that has definitely been the best result.
Later on John Peel started recording bands because he was only allowed a certain percentage of needle time. If you search for Peel Sessions and look at the Keeping It Peel site at the BBC then you will see possibly the world's richest resource of music over the past 40 years. It truly is amazing how that guy kept moving forward.
Here is where its at...http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/
We have just had the second annual John Peel Day. Perhaps something happened near you.
I absolutely believe Peel is THE keystone of music in Britain since the mid-60s. The single most important figure. Bar none.
