I have a copy of the original BBC session tape (in stereo) on a DAT. I'll listen to those two tracks a bit later and check whether they were the EMI recordings all along.

No - the "John Peel sessions" of late 1973 and/or early 1974 definitely featured live in the studio versions of both of the above tracks.

The wave forms look the same, and I got the "phasing" effect that only happens when two identical sound sources are played exactly together.
The same is true of Jungle Jam.

Do you think it sounds awful or is it badly performed or both?iefje wrote:Jetblack56 wrote:Anyway the point IS, I hope they sound better than they did on "SATURDAY CLUB" all those year's ago,because the LIVE recordings they did on SATURDAY CLUB

That fact that Bruce is playing electric rhythm guitar, instead of Gibson acoustic, probably doesn't help. The all-electric instrumentation tends to make it sound pretty thin and tinny.
The radio session recording of Man of Mystery, also from 1960, features Bruce on acoustic which, to my ears, makes all the difference...
