Story & Background

This record, a milestone for every collector, represents the culmination of a titanic recording operation. Its original release in 1994, decades after the recordings, was delayed not only by the need to restore hundreds of BBC archive tapes, but above all by the complex legal odyssey to obtain the rights to all the songs. Indeed, much of the appeal of "Live at the BBC" lies in the vibrant reinterpretations of R&B and rock 'n' roll songs by their idols, never featured on their studio albums. Securing the licenses for dozens of covers by artists such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard or Carl Perkins, often with rights fragmented among multiple publishers and authors, proved to be an almost insurmountable bureaucratic labyrinth. The success in obtaining all the authorisations made the album's release a true celebration of their legacy and musical roots, finally accessible to the world.
