Robin Trower at the BBC 1973-1975 is the most comprehensive collection to date of Robin Trower’s recordings for the BBC. From his first John Peel session in March 1973 whilst promoting his debut solo album for Chrysalis Records, Twice Removed From Yesterday, featuring ‚Man Of The World‘, ‚Daydream‘, ‚Sinner’s Song‘ and the album’s title track, through recordings for Bob Harris including such classics as ‚Day Of The Eagle‘ and ‚Alethea‘, as well as two further sessions for John Peel. This 2 CD set is completed by a concert recorded for the BBC in January 1975, performing songs from his first three LPs, including breakthrough album Bridge Of Sighs and his then new album, For Earth Below.
