Folder 2:-
(Paris Theatre 01 January 1970) Bolan at the Beeb
On the original Bolan At The Beeb 3 disk set the following 7 tracks are seperate
but I have spliced them together. For some freekish and bad reason the BBC
decided to omit John Peel's inbetween chatter, shame on you BBC. I have replaced
the John Peel segments. Unfortunately I have had to use an MP3 file for this
splicing, so it's not the most perfect of unions. However hearing John and Marc
is better than not hearing John and Marc.

On the original Bolan At The Beeb 3 disk set the following 4 tracks are seperate

the BBC decided to omit Marc's inbetween chatter, shame on you BBC. I have
replaced those segments. Unfortunately I have had to use an MP3 file for this
splicing, so it's not the most perfect of unions. However hearing Marc is better
than not hearing Marc. Also included is the Woodland Bop medley missing from the
Bolan At The Beeb set. This again is unfortunately an MP3 file.
