{"product_id":"at-the-bbc","title":"At The BBC (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e5CD box set encapsulating the very best of Howard Jones' BBC Session and live concert performance broadcastsFeaturing nine previously unreleased session tracks including 'What Can I Say?' which is remastered from the original master tape for the very first timeAll the live performance tracks (bar eight from the Oxford Road Show) are previously unreleased, including three songs from this live performance that were not broadcast at the time and are previously unheard and unreleased: 'Like To Get To Know You Well', 'No One Is To Blame' and 'Don't Always Look At The Rain'\/'Things Can Only Get Better'. Plus a 16-page CD booklet including a sleeve note by Anil Prasad in conversation with Howard reflecting on his '80s BBC Session and live recordings. Decades before YouTube and streaming, the biggest influence on British pop music fans was exposure to artists via the BBC. In the '80s, BBC Radio remained a primal force in establishing the relevance and momentum of musicians, including for Howard Jones, himself. In the period between 1983-87, the BBC broadcast four different sessions by Howard; two of these for the Kid Jensen Show and two for the Janice Long Show. This 5CD box set contains all 19 of these session tracks including the complete 'White Tape' demo recordings that Howard gave to the BBC to broadcast as his second session in May of 1983. The box set also includes three In Concert live performances and the previously unheard complete Oxford Road Show performance that was simulcast on BBC Radio 1 and BBC2 on 15th March 1985. As Howard himself said in conversation with sleeve note writer Anil Prasad; \"This set is a really valuable, historical document. You hear me before the first album was released, after I've had success, my evolution from a solo performer to a band-focused performer, and all of it happened across only four years from 1983-1987. There's so much variety in the sessions, even among songs that appear multiple times. It's a series of snapshots from a very important time in my career. It's fascinating for me to listen to and reflect on so many years later. I hope the same holds true for the fans as well. \"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Put These Curses On Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuman's Lib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuman's Lib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove ?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRisk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways Asking Questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Can I Say?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThings Can Only Get Better*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook Mama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDream Into Action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo One Is To Blame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Balance Of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConditioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Bit Of Snow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Want To Fight Anymore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive Me Strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIGY (What A Beautiful World)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConditioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreams Of A Better Place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Is Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Always Look At Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunt The Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePearl In The Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways Asking Questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Always Look At The Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChange The Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike To Get To Know You Well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHide And Seek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreams Of A Better Place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Is Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike To Get To Get To Know You Well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook Mama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunger For The Flesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHide And Seek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways Asking Questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo One is To Blame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Is Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunt The Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThings Can Only Get Better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomaton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePearl In The Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHide And Seek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike To Get To Know You Well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook Mama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDream Into Action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunger For The Flesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHunt The Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Is Love?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo One Is To Blame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways Asking Questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Always Look At The Rain\/Things Can Only Get Better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46983159972061,"sku":"5013929111899","price":194.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4013940-2749564.jpg?v=1762924854","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/en-ae\/products\/at-the-bbc","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
