BBC RADIO 1971 - 1974

This should convince most of those who think that the Softs died when Wyatt left; that it's time to take their heads out of their bums and listen to the later stuff! If for nothing else than Allan Holdsworth's superb guitar. This album is a joy for any SM fan. The first 3 tracks has Phil Howard on drums before JM joined and you can hear the difference in just how inappropriate his drumming is to the later SM ethos of a tight disciplined band. Anyone who derides Marshall needs their ears tested. His later work with Eberhard Weber etc. testifies to that.
