Shadows At The BBC (2)??

by **iefje** » 09 Sep 2019, 09:19

Some of The Drifters' / The Shadows' BBC recordings from 1959 and 1960 have surfaced on the 2012 double CD on Rollercoaster Records "Let Me Tell You Baby...It's Called Rock 'N' Roll!". The tracks being: "Jet Black", "Driftin'", "Apache", "Quatermasster's Stores" (all with and without spoken introductions) and "Guitar Boogie".

John Beecher has many more....and all Master Tape quality. If issued, they would form a separate compilation. As RollerCoaster now owns the copyright, I think I can say with some degree of certainty, these tracks would not be available to use elsewhere...they are now for use exclusively by John Beecher / RollerCoaster.

I emailed John Beecher about this last October. This was his reply...

Yes Chris, we have planned this for some time but it is taking longer
than I would like. When it is available it will of course appear on our
website.

You probably know we released Cliff & The Drifers and The Shadows double
CD from BBC Saturday Club tapes.

But to whom does the copyright of the unreleased BBC radio recordings from 1963, 1964 and 1973/1974 and 1971/1972 (Marvin, Welch & Farrar) belong? Would that be the BBC themselves?

I could be wrong.....but I think that (as they were radio broadcasts & many remain unissued & the original tapes lost / destroyed) that they are now public domain up until c. 1966. Post 1966...yes, I think the copyright is still with the BBC. The BBC definitely no longer owns the copyright on the material that John Beecher has & he purchased the surviving master tapes direct from Bernie Andrews.

Andy....there are versions of all of those for sure.

The only question is whether they are able to trace the tapes.

In worst case I could supply near mint copies of the BBC Transcription Discs for the two "Star Show" programmes featuring the Shadows (#20 and #24) where they perform Dance On, The Boys, Nivram and Foot Tapper.

Licorice features on 4 tracks (+ 2 others that might be considered as suitable to be used).
