THE BATTLE (2LP), 2019
A Collection of Rare Live Performances and BBC Sessions (1968-1972)
A collection of early Strawbs session and live recordings (mainly lifted from the BBC, but some from the Antiques And Curios Universal CD release and the Witchwood Media Recollection release). Very nicely presented - the album labels match the A&M 1972 style tan/brown typography. The sleeve back cover has lots of small pictures of posters/10x8s, obviously plundered from Strawbsweb, and the 1970 pictures from Recollection.
