![]() If there was more than one, I chose the version with the better sound quality. (And there's at least one additional lost session.) Furthermore, there was a fair amount of repetition of some of their big hits. There was another session I didn't use at all due to poor sound quality. ![]() In terms of sound quality, this is all pretty good, even though everything here is officially unreleased. Most of these are BBC radio sessions, but the last two songs are from a BBC TV show. Perhaps I'll explore more of that at a different time. The Everly Brothers were on TV and radio a lot, especially in the US, so if I started including that stuff, this would turn into a very different thing. So perhaps it's not that surprising that the Everly Brothers capitalized on this by promoting themselves more in Britain.įor this album, I've limited the source material to just actual BBC sessions. Most dramatically, "The Price of Love" was a number two hit in Britain in 1965, but it didn't even make the top 100 in the US. However, while the only had one Top 40 hit in the US from 1963 to 1968, they had ten such hits in Britain. But by the middle of the 1960s, their popularity dropped a lot in the US. They were very popular everywhere in the late 1950s and early 1960s. One exceptions are the Everly Brothers, from the US. The vast majority of artists who have enough material for their own BBC sessions albums are British, but there are exceptions.
