Gallagher's Best BBC Performances in a 3LP Set!
Includes Previously Unreleased Tracks!

A 'best of' from the 18CD The BBC Collection will be available on 3LP, titled The Best of Rory Gallagher at the BBC.

These releases celebrate the importance of the artist Rory Gallagher, who was possibly the most recorded musician of the 1970s by the BBC.

"('Tore Down') That was the first song I ever heard played…It's a BBC recording of Rory Gallagher playing at the Paris Theatre in London in July 1972. And I was in the audience, aged 15, and those opening bars were enough to make me realize that this was something I wanted to do again and again… 'Tore Down' was my introduction to live, loud, amplified blues and when Gallagher had finished, my 15-year-old self could not contain his excitement. He ran down to the front to shake Rory's hand…When the BBC did eventually broadcast the concert, I taped it by leaning the microphone from my clunky cassette recorder against the speaker of our old transistor radio and I listened to that tape over and over again" - Nick Hornby, Author.

The BBC Collection is an all-encompassing collection of the many recorded performances of Rory Gallagher at the BBC. Amassed from the BBC archives and Rory Gallagher's own transcription discs and off-air cassette recordings, the box set spans 16 years of his career (1971-1986), taking in highlights such as the 1977 dual television and radio broadcast Sight & Sound concert, Rory's headlining set at the Reading Festival in 1980 to the emotional 'At Midnight' concert live from the Ulster Hall in Belfast, 1984.
