A Missed Opportunity!!!

"For years now bootlegs of Spooky Tooth's BBC recordings have been circulating, most with less than excellent sound. Finally we get a chance to hear the band at its finest: LIVE "at the Beeb," and what do we get? A truncated set, short in selections and definitely not what we would like to hear. The half dozen BBC songs come from but one or two of the numerous sessions the band recorded between 1968 and 1969, and many are faded in, suggesting that they are taken from transcription discs with spoken voice-over introductions that were simply edited out. Missing are some of the best BBC sessions, songs like "Tobacco Road," and "Evil Woman" that were hallmarks of the band in concert. Although the studio outtakes from the 1999 reunion album are nice to have, they really do not fit comfortably into this collection. Equally disappointing are the two "bonus cuts" tacked on to the end of the disc which come from a 1970 Berlin concert, but which are rather shabby sounding, and which appear with no explanation as to their origins. In short we get a taste of what might have been, namely a Spooky Tooth BBC set to rival those recently issued by the Kinks, and the Who, but which instead winds up a missed opportunity."

"Why even bother? Put in some effort next time. Anyone who shells out (current price) for Spooky Tooth knows a thing or two about what is already in circulation. Don't waste you money or time with this. Even the art, liner notes are pathetic."

"For spooky tooth fans this is a good album. You dont really get alot of spooky tooth live so this is a great one to get for that. You'll enjoy this album."
