BBC Radio 1960's
This all changed when the pirate radio stns set up off-shore of England. They had little or no space & no money, so live musician sessions weren't a possibility for them. So vinyl ruled 100% of the time & with US black music being the hip thing, they played the US versions not the UK cover.
The BBC eventually adapted [[by creating RADIO ONE, etc) but it took them a few years.
HOWEVER, with R&B being the in-genre, all the top UK acts were soon playing R&B / soul ... so when they were asked to do a live BBC radio session, it wasn't only their own tunes that they played ...
RIP Angela Bofill

Gladys Knight "The Nitty Gritty" Mixing Error???
It came on my iPod today at the gym and reminded me that about 1 minute into the song the drum fades out...and stays out for over a minute. I have always wondered if this was a mixing error by Whitfield or was he trying to augment the horns and guitars here. It's on both the stereo and mono mixes.
Anybody else pick up on this?
