Default Curly - from "The Looner" 3 CD set

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone out there has a copy of the 3 CD bootleg titled "The Looner" - I am curious if the disc offers any information as to the source of the version of "Curly" that is on the collection -
It is different than the version found on the Mayall bootleg collection entitled "The First Five Years". The version on the Mayall disc (which is close to a minute longer than the one on "The Looner")is said to be from the same January BBC session that "Leaping Christine", "Ridin' On the L & N" and "Sitting in the Rain" are from.

thanks in advance for any help with this

BklynBlue, I know I've got the artwork someplace for The Looner.....might take me awhile to find it though. But below is what I've got for the tracklist, and I'm sure I copied it from whatever artwork I saw. Don't know if this will be any help to you.....those two versions of "Curly" are quite different and are surely from different dates.

thanks Sharksfan2000 -
The tracks on disc two list the BBC sessions as having been recorded in December of 1966 -
We now know they were actually recorded in January of 1967 on the 23rd
In Christopher Hjort's book "Strange Brew Eric Clapton and the British Blues Boom" he lists another BBC session, this one on Alexis Korner's show on February 3rd - "Curly" is among the numbers listed as also having been recorded for that show -
Hjort concludes by saying that none of the numbers from the Korner show survived - yet, one of them, the Mayall solo piece, "No More Tears" has recently turned up on "John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers Live at the BBC" - could the version of "Curly" performed that day have survived also?

Yes, it did survive. I have a copy which came to me on a 5" Reel (which the vendor claimed to be the original). It is a very nice slow Bluesy version. In my opinion, the best of those available.

Cheers, Don
