“Sixteen tracks of prime Spencer Davis Group, recorded in excellent sound for the BBC in 1966. Contains songs not released on any studio LP as well as the big hits Keep On Running, Somebody Help Me and Gimme Some Lovin’. Hear the teenage Stevie Winwood demonstrate the vocal and instrumental prowess he would go on to show in Traffic, Blind Faith and throughout his highly successful solo career. Sound quality is exceptional and thanks to AI, we have managed to erase all those annoying DJ talkovers at the start and end of each track”.
