BBC 'In Concert'
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

New, Unplayed (Out Of Print) 2013 180gm Original Housed In A Fully Laminated Jacket. The Back Door Story Belongs To A Brief But Rather Glorious Time In British Popular Music. A Time When A Free-Blowing Jazz Trio Could Emerge From The Resident Band Of A Northern Cabaret Club, A Summer Season In Seaside Variety Theatre, Afternoon Jam Sessions And The Band Of An Iconic Figure From The British Blues Boom. As BBC In Concert Ably Demonstrates, The Band Managed To Blend These Rather Disparate Experiences Together To Create Some Entertaining Music. Back Door Was Described Variously As Playing Jazz, Jazz-Rock And Fusion. BBC In Concert Has A Strong Blues Feel—"Roberta" And "Linin' Track" From Leadbelly, And Robert Johnson's "Walking Blues" Join Four Songs Credited Jointly To Hodgkinson And Aspery. There's A Welcome Economy To The Songs: "His Old Boots" Is The Only Track To Clock In At More Than 4 Minutes And That's Only By A Second Or Two. Two Instrumentals Show Another Side To Back Door's Style. "Folksong" Is, Despite Its Title, The Jazziest Of The Seven Tunes, Featuring Some Raucous Sax From Aspery. "Forget Me Daisy" Is A Calming, Whimsical, Tune—Folkier Than "Folksong," Asprey's Flute Reminiscent Of Didier Malherbe's Work With Kevin Ayers.
