Deaf School BBC "In Concert" 1976

[billfromnorthwales]

A bit of a tough one, and the results clearly demonstrate the damage
done by listening to Black Sabbath at the Liverpool Empire in the same
year, and the evils of artifacts of digital noise reduction, and other
limitations.

I enjoyed trying, though, so you may as well have it here

fun while they lasted. Started from a group of art-theater students in
Liverpool, Deaf School combined a dizzying array of eclectic influences,
from 1930's melodrama, musical theater, 50's schmaltz, 60's pop and
jazz, and 70's rock, to create a truly unique style and sound. Their
first album, 'Second Honeymoon', is just delightful, and works both as a
great pop album, and as sonic theater. This show was recorded some time
in early 1976, prior to the release of their first album (apparently was
recorded while they were in the process of recording the album, probably
around April-May, 1976). Although a short set for the radio show, it
nonetheless showcases several of the songs that would be on their
upcoming album. Also included is a bonus track of a demo of an
unreleased song featuring an even earlier incarnation of the band. I got
this from the website of Ian Ritchie, who was the Sax player for the
band. I hope more people can find out about and enjoy the music of this
excellent, but unsuccessful band. Of note is that apparently, the band
is much more popular now than they ever were. In recent years they
reformed (with almost all of the original members), and have had several
succesful tours and reunion shows.
