I Recorded Them Once And I've Never Played Them Again

I was a little surprised to find that I've only featured Green Gartside/Scritti Politti on this blog three times. Criminal behaviour. Call myself a fan?!

 

To remedy this, here's a short but sweet mix of radio session performances from 2006-2007, featuring a few songs from the White Bread Black Beer album and a couple of beauties that have to date remained otherwise unreleased. Excuse the pun, but they're all absolutely wonderful.

 

1) Snow In Sun (Acoustic Version) (Live, Planet Claire (Radio Show), Paris, 10 May 2006)

2) Unfrozen (Live, Charles Hazlewood Show, BBC Radio 2, 16 May 2007)

3) Robin Hood (Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2, 23rd May 2006)

4) Forgiven (Live, Charles Hazlewood Show, BBC Radio 2, 16 May 2007)

5) Road To No Regret (Acoustic Version) (Live, Planet Claire (Radio Show), Paris, 10 May 2006)

You can find the complete Charles Hazelwood session and interview on the very wonderful bibbly-o-tek blog

 

The full Planet Claire session, including a version of Robin Hood, is available on YouTube and (naturally) bibbly-o-tek.

 

Finally, bibbly-o-tek also has the full Mark Radcliffe session and interview, including versions of Snow In Sun and Road To No Regret.
