But essentially you are hearing the same thing as on the album. I also played the actual versions from the Sounds on Sunday show - and they are wildly different, to the extent that you wouldn't confuse them with the originals. A real mystery this, but I can only reiterate my theories that someone at the Beeb handed over the wrong tapes! What is such a shame is that if they'd come to virtually anyone on this forum, I suspect that we could have had a listen and said "Whoa! That's not right!" I am now wondering if they may have to repress the CD as they are effectively passing off EMI recordings as BBC recordings. Any thoughts?
The reason why "Jungle Jam" and "Turn Around And Touch Me" have been presented by the original studio versions, is maybe because one of The Shadows' members didn't find the quality of the actual BBC versions good enough for release, so they jumped the gun by remixing the original studio versions and present them as 'alternative' or 'radio' versions. This has also been done with some tracks by The Who.
