*** RARE Radio Transcription IN CONCERT from BBC Transcription Service ***
POP SPECTACULAR: SANTANA In Concert (No.129)
Beacon Theatre, New York City, May 7th 1976
This disk has obviously been played a lot and was probably used as a listening copy by BBC Transcription Service staff. Despite this, it is listenable and still enjoyable in this condition. In view of this it is offered at a much lower price than similar IN CONCERTs in better condition.
The concert was recorded in 1976 in New York at the Beacon Theatre and featured songs from the "Amigo" album, which had only just been released. Among them are "Black Magic Woman" and "Dance, Sister, Dance". For copyright reasons this disk was not distributed to radio stations in the USA and therefore fewer than usual copies of this concert were pressed.
This rare and collectible LP is part of a series of hundreds of live rock and pop concerts issued by the BBC in the 70s and 80s to radio stations around the world on vinyl disks. Originally entitled POP SPECTACULAR, the series was renamed IN CONCERT a couple of years after this disk was released.
The BBC Transcription Service pioneered full-range high fidelity recording in the BBC and was the first to regularly record in stereo and quadraphonically; it pioneered using Dolby A noise reduction. BBC Transcription Service records had short print runs, usually around 100 discs, and most copies were destroyed after broadcasting rights expired. This rare example was obtained directly from the BBC TS's own undistributed stock.
All items from Verity Vinyls are part of a personal collection of records, musical manuscripts and books, started in 1953 when the collector, then aged 12 years, bought his first LP - a symphony by Mahler. He is now disposing of a selection of items from his collection. Unless otherwise stated, all disks are tested before despatch, and are shipped in professional box mailers with additional stiffening pads, specifically designed for vinyl records.
