The end of 2020 has automatically brought the end of copyright for material that came from the year 1970 and this is the first product of my knowledge appearing on the market, for the time being just in digital form. This is not the first time such material has appeared anyway, since in 2014 this concert came out in cyberspace just called John Peel’s Sunday Concert, London Paris Theatre 1970, London 70 and Wicked Messenger 1970 FM Broadcasts, which came out in 2019 sporting a wrong date (November 19, 1970) and so on.

The Faces were Peel’s favourite band in the first half of the 1970s and he appears to have enjoyed their goodtime approach both musically and socially. As well as “playing” mandolin with the band on Top Of The Pops in 1971, the famous British DJ invited them all to his wedding three years later. In subsequent decades, he continued to cite the Faces’s April 1973 gig at Sunderland Locarno as the best he ever attended. Here is the very first broadcast of the band from trhe Paris Theatre in London as part of John Peel’s Sunday Concert which was broadcasted live by BBC Radio. John Peel was a bit of an unconventional character with regards to the BBC average radio presenters and was in fact hired to counteract the commercial success of some private radios like London radio, radio Caroline etc. and we can hear him commenting between each track. Despite the fact that this concert was broadasted in mono it is very nice to listen to, packaging is quite basic, as it often happens with digital products like this lacking the back cover.
