Sandy Denny, The BBC Sessions 1971 - 73

 

Strange Fruit SFRSCD006 (CD, UK, May 1997)

 

Questo CD è una vera e propria rarità, considerato che ne sono state salvate solo 3.500 copie. Rimane tuttavia un solo oggetto per collezionisti in virtù del fatto che una versione espansa è stata pubblicata nel 2007 come cofanetto "Live at BBC". La qualità delle registrazioni (alcuni live e altre registrazioni radiofoniche) è indubbiamente notevole
