Bronco | 5Live At The BBC

Dateline: May 20th, 2011
Hidden Masters will be releasing – as a limited edition – Bronco's only known live recording.

It was originally recorded for BBC In Concert With John Peel during January, 1971 and broadcast at the end of that month (twice) in mono. This is, therefore, the first time that this recording will ever have been heard in stereo.

The 2011 edition is being issued by arrangement with BBC Music and has been remastered from the original analog tapes.

Neither Woodstock or Talking Jack Humphries were recorded in the studio (even as demos); indeed both songs only appeared infrequently in the band's live set.

Details of pricing and formats will be annouced shortly.
