As an addendum to the aforementioned "On Air" comp for collectors: The same 12 tracks have been released earlier this year as a limited edition on clear vinyl under the title "BBC Sessions - Aeolian Hall - April 14,1969" on the No Kidding label.

The three-cd complete Blue Horizon sessions are essential. I actually prefer hearing those songs on that release because they wisely omit Stan Webb’s banter between the songs on OK KEN. He was trying to be funny —and in small doses it is—but the persistence of it becomes intrusive and annoying.
The three-cd begins with the single “It’s Okay With Me, Baby,” which is so damn good and should have been included on the first album.
