David Cousins always highly valued the sessions that he, together with other members of Strawbs, greatly valued Strawbs BBC Radio and TV Sessions.
In this regard, it was interesting to note that among David’s papers was this letter on the Band’s appearance on The Peter Starstedt Show, recorded on Sunday 10 August 1969, at Broadcasting House. Apologising for the early hour (09.30) on a Sunday morning, while pointing out that others could go back to bed after recording three songs, David had to stay on for a chat with Peter…
Two songs of those recorded, Canon Dale and Song of a Sad Little Girl are included on A Glimpse of Heaven, a comprehensive compilation of Strawbs radio and TV sessions, 1966 – 1984, an exciting an exciting Cherry Red / Esoteric Recordings addition to the Strawbs catalogue..
The 5 CD/1 Blu-ray video box set can be pre-ordered for 24 April, from the Cherry Red Records website.
