A CERTAIN RATIO - Marc Riley session (2017)

This session was recorded and promptly forgotten about, languishing on my PC hard drive. It was only via the enclosed notes that I realised I had recorded it and not simply downloaded it from a torrent site.

I rediscovered it recently because my aging hard drive had started to make groaning noises on starting up. I transferred the files to a stand alone hard-drive. 

I'm making some of these early recordings available here on the blog, as it would have been a pity to have lost them. This is the 2nd edition and includes 'Shack Up'
 

A CERTAIN RATION - In Session

BBC i-player (UK)
BBC Radio 6 - Marc Riley Show
Monday, 11 December 2017 / 7pm-9pm


A Certain Ratio provide tonight's live entertainment, they formed in Manchester in 1978 and were signed to Factory Records. Pedigree. Tony Wilson and Alan Erasmus also managed the band.
The band plan to re-release some of their classic albums in November 2017, followed with a live show in December.
This session provides a little taster of what you can expect ... blurb from the BBC website.

00. Marc Riley intro
01. A Certain Ratio - Do The Du (session)
02. A Certain Ratio - The Fox (session)
03. A Certain Ratio - The Big E (session)
04. A Certain Ratio - And Then Again (session)
05. A Certain Ratio - Shack Up (session)
06. Interview - Marc Riley talks with A Certain Ratio
07. Barry Adamson - I Got Clothes (ACR rework)

This session was broadcast by BBC6 Music on Monday 11 December and recorded from the BBC i-player (UK)
Only three tracks were aired on Marc Riley's programme. The following show by Gideon Coe, broadcast a further session track 'And Then Again'. The final session track 'Shack Up' was broadcast the following evening of Tuesday 12 December, on the Marc Riley show.

The tracks have been edited together from these three sources. The music has been placed together at the beginning and the three interview parts that followed the first three songs have been edited to one track following the session. Finally a bonus track has been included at the end. The reason for its inclusion will become apparent after hearing the interview.
