Let's not forget how the system works    In most cases 6Music don't 
do their own butchering
They order shows (and sessions) from a catalogue and get CDs from the 
BBC Archive
They get them how they are in the Archive.    Over the years these shows may
have been tightened up to fit various time slots - tracks removed at 
the request of
the bands managements and record companies and so on.   We have a more
purist view to these shows now but that has not always been the case

The Gideon Coe show is essentially a dj show and the live segment is just that
Its' only recently he's started to broadcast a complete session a 
night - usually
its just a couple of tracks from a session - very irritating for the 
collector but
that's the way it is
