The great unsung British Blues hero recorded live at the BBC together with previously unreleased studio tracks The most comprehensive collection of Duffy Power’s BBC recordings available with sound restoration by Eroc Showcases Duffy in a variety styles and line-ups with backing by the Graham Bond Quartet, the Fentones and CWT Disc Three comprises unreleased studio recordings from the 90s\/00s which cement his reputation as a Bluesman Liner notes by Duffy collaborator\/producer Pete Brown also include detailed annotation by compiler and archivist Colin Harper Duffy Power (1941-2014) was among Britain’s first wave of late 50s rock’n’rollers, a protégé of impresario Larry Parnes alongside Billy Fury, Marty Wilde and Georgie Fame. In 1963 a musical epiphany saw him become one of Britain’s greatest bluesmen – a singer, songwriter and harmonica virtuoso whose career thereafter would be a rollercoaster of amazing recordings, off\/on record deals, and periods of withdrawal before bowing out of music-making in 1973. In the mid-60s, Duffy recorded with future members of Cream, Pentangle and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. He never had any problem impressing fellow musicians, but a wider appreciation of his work would only come in the era of CD reissues and anthologies. This 3CD Live At The BBC set adds to the legend of Duffy Power. Beginning with a 1963 session backed by the Graham Bond Quartet (Bond, John McLaughlin, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker), it more than doubles the content on Power’s only previous BBC set, Sky Blues (2001), adding performances from the 60s and 70s – including a 1971 Mike Raven session backed by Rod Argent – and ending with his last-known BBC session, a full-band set in 1997 for Paul Jones. In between, we have blues, jazz, soul and stadium rock, in the form of a 1973 session for John Peel with hard rock trio CWT. The third disc adds 11 non-BBC tracks (nine previously unreleased, two rare) from two periods of potential comeback sessions in 1995 and 2000-01, including four original songs not previously published. Songwriting legend Pete Brown, who produced the 1995 session, provides the booklet essay, with additional notes from Colin Harper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Repertoire Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50477633339723,"sku":"2013244","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_7f4fe1a7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727475694"},{"product_id":"innovations-expanded","title":"Innovations - Expanded","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst released in 1971 to critical acclaim, this definitive reissue includes an additional 11 tracks. The first Duffy Power release to collate all of his Innovations-era recordings in one beautifully packaged set Remastered by Eroc, the collection includes a track new to any Duffy Power CD release Photo-laden booklet includes an authoritative essay by songwriter Pete Brown with annotation by compiler and archivist Colin Harper Duffy Power (1941-2014) was among Britain’s first wave of late 50s rock’n’rollers, a protégé of impresario Larry Parnes alongside Billy Fury, Marty Wilde and Georgie Fame. In 1963, a musical epiphany saw him become one of Britain’s greatest bluesmen – an intensely soulful singer, songwriter and harmonica virtuoso whose career thereafter would be a rollercoaster of amazing recordings, off\/on record deals, and periods of withdrawal before bowing out of music-making in 1973. In the mid-60s, Duffy recorded with future members of Cream, Pentangle and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. He never had any problem impressing fellow musicians, but a wider appreciation of his work would only come in the CD era. Despite a string of lavishly produced singles for Parlophone and an attempted comeback on CBS with the single ‘Hell Hound’ \/ ‘Hummingbird’ in 1970, Duffy’s first real success since the Larry Parnes era was the result of an ‘archive trawl’ LP in 1971 – among the first of its kind for a living artist. Entitled Innovations, the album brought together a dozen unreleased recordings made between 1965-67 for his publisher, Marquis Music, including several co-writes between Power and guitar hero and Melody Maker poll-winner John McLaughlin, who had revolutionised Miles Davis’ sound in the intervening years. Other musicians on the album – Jack Bruce, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox – had since found the sweet spot between commercial success and acclaimed progressive music, while drummers Phil Seamen and Red Reece were legends of British jazz. Released on Transatlantic Records in February 1971, Innovations caused a sensation, selling 30,000 copies and seeing Duffy featured at length in the British music press, prompting CBS to reissue the ‘Hell Hound’ single (flipping the sides). In the CD era, 10 further recordings from these Marquis Music sessions filtered out on various anthologies. This ‘definitive edition’ brings all of this extraordinary body of work together for the first time and adds the one remaining stray: a fabulous Decca 45 A-side take of ‘Hound Dog’, released in January 1967 by Duffy’s Nucleus (Power, McLaughlin, Thompson, Cox), which has never before appeared on a Duffy Power CD. Detailed notes by Pete Brown and Colin Harper, who both knew Duffy, and mastering by Eroc, complete the package.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Repertoire Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50527244779851,"sku":"2013219","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_265fc1f6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728052762"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/duffy-power.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
