Just a heads up. The new Vol.3 installment of the 3 x CD box set of the British Beat Collection series of BBC broadcasts can now be obtained from Utopia Sounds on eBay for £16
This volume carries recordings from between 1967-70 and has fewer cover versions of hits of the day than the first two volumes. Like its two predecessors it just 'appears' without any certain release date and at tthe ime of writing this seems to be the only availabilty of it, though no doubt that will widen in the next week or two.
As they are all recordings made at /for the BBC, they will all differ to some extent from any formal released version anyway. here is the track lists.

Thanks Paul, this looks really interesting. I never knew The Alan Bown recorded a version of Pandora’s Golden Heebie Jeebies. I’m very curious to hear what that sounds like.
