My understanding is most tracks recorded "live" at the BBC in the '60s were full studio productions.  It wasn't like it was a band playing with just the usual set-up live in a studio.  You can tell that the voices were overdubbed multiple times on that recording.  Still, impressive and different, and I'm sure Brian didn't have a lot of time to work on it.  Thanks for sharing.

Depended on the band - even The Beatles didn't overdub until some of their last BBC sessions. I can understand The Beach Boys, traveling from overseas and with perfectionist Brian....

Was this their only BBC recording?

I"ve got the Beatles live at the BBC album and it's great.... I also have Roy Orbison's, I believe it was recorded in the 80s though.

I think Orbison's Live at the BBC CD compiles recordings from various BBC appearances, not just stuff from the 80s.

Damn that was beautiful.

I don't know. The voices sound definitely double tracked (at least). Jerry Lee Lewis did some sessions as well and those are certainly not worked on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_j3_kkkVSM

Many thanks for the heads-up to the heads-up! Gorgeous...

I wonder though how many tracks the BBs would have squeezed into their allocated time? Give the Beatles half an hour and you'd probably get ten songs; given that the BBs seem to have done vocal overdubs, I suspect half an hour per song might have been a tall order!

I was told that the tracklist was this: I Get Around, Hushabye, Surfin´ USA, Graduation Day, Wendy, Little Old Lady From Pasadena and When I Grow Up

Okay, had a quick look at Badman.

Nov 5 lists a BBC TV live performance of I Get Around, When I Grow Up.

Nov 6 lists ARTV Ready Steady Go perf of I Get Around, When I Grow Up.

Also a Nov 6 Playhouse Theatre BBC Light Prog Top Gear "live" perf of:
I Get Around, Hushabye, Surfin' USA, Graduation Day, Wendy, Little Old Lady, When I Grow Up.


Badman's book is pretty detailed about this UK visit but can't find a ref as to his source for the info.

If this Hushabye perf is from the Nov 6 Playhouse sessions, then I'd LOVE to hear the rest.

Wonder why this has surfaced now? Has someone been investigating the BBC archives for a possible BBC Sessions release?  Or maybe the purported boxset archivists have been trawling archives the world over for long-forgotten gems worthy of inclusion in the 50th anniversary release.  Or maybe it's just a one-off, happenstance thing…  Good tho', innit!

  Our posts crossed… started mine before lunch, finished it later…

That's spot-on for the Badman tracklist, just a day out.

Hope you had a good lunch.
Well, the radio guy says nov 5th. Maybe Ian has more info ?

Here's the Ready Steady Go ! - appearance : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCYouoLKxjo

The Beeb must have a stack of stuff like this; I believe some has shown up in recent years, and there was a suggestion that a release of some kind might be considered.
