This review is from: BBC Sessions 1970-1976 (Audio CD)

I'm a diehard fan of Ayers - at least, his early stuff with Soft Machine, David Bedford, Mike Oldfield and Lol Coxhill - and I love this CD set. But the sound quality veers from aweful to passable, and some of the cuts are very loose, to be kind.

But if you're into Ayers and his crowd, get this - killers versions of Lunatics Lament, Lady Rachel, Stop This train, and others.
