Pentangle, On Air

 

1997  CD  STRANGE FRUITS   SFRSCD046     GB


Questo prezioso cd è composto da 14 brani di cui i primi tre registrati in diretta alla BBC il 17.08.1969, mentre i cinque successivi sempre in BBC il 19.06.1972. Gli ultimi sei sono invece relativi ad un concerto live del 20.06.70; tra questi ultimi spiccano "Hunting song", meravigliosa versione in chiave psichedelica, e "House Carpenter" che si colora di venature dark. Si tratta insomma di un cd prezioso per gli appassionati, piuttosto anonimo in quanto al progetto grafico ma contenente una non banale presentazione di Tony Dale.
