Description
• Essential 4CD box set presenting exceptional live and BBC session recordings by the reunited original line up of legendary folk rock band Pentangle.
• Tracks include live versions of fan favourites such as ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’, ‘Pentangling’ and the hit single ‘Light Flight’.
The recordings on disc 1 are sourced from the BBC archives and previously unreleased. These include six songs from Pentangle’s brilliant first reunion appearance at The Cambridge Folk Festival in 1982 and a great version of ‘Bruton Town’ from their return there in 2011, plus sessions from BBC TV shows Six Fifty-Five Special and Later With Jools Holland, the 2007 Radio 2 Folk Awards and BBC Radio 6 Music’s Freak Zone.
Apart from the first eight tracks that feature the quartet of Bert Jansch (vocals/guitar), Jacqui McShee (vocals), John Renbourn (vocals/guitar) and Danny Thompson (double bass) as drummer Terry Cox was absent due to injury, ‘Reunions’ features all five members of the original Pentangle.
Disc 2 contains 18 previously unreleased recordings of stunning performances from Thiene and Milan on Pentangle’s triumphant 1982 Italian tour.
Discs 3 and 4 comprise the band’s final double album, ‘Finale: An Evening With Pentangle’, that includes performances cherry picked from their 2008 UK tour and was first released by Topic Records in 2016.
Includes notes from acclaimed author Mick Houghton.
