Mott The Hoople
Live studio tracks which went to air mainly on "Top Gear".
1970-02-21 & 1971-03-16 (most likely dates)

Recorded and digitized by Ace Rimmer (THANK YOU ACE!)

Lineage: original BBC AM radio broadcast -> unknown mono reel-to-reel-recorder -> master off-air mono reel-to-reel tape -> unknown digital transfer method -> wave ->
flac (level 8 via TLH)

I've received first 4 tracks in MONO 16-44 wav format, converted them to flac level 8 with TLH, and created info file.

Track 5 was recived in stereo 32-44 format (with identical channels), and got converted to mono 16-44 flac with Audacity.

Original order of tracks, as received (not dated) from Ace Rimmer:

1. Angel of 8th Avenue *
2. At The Crossroads +
3. Laugh At Me +
4. Original Mixed Up Kid *
5. Whisky Women *

According to (Sgt.) Weatherman (expert on BBC sesions) this is a compilation of at least two shows:

* Track 1 possibly from Peel session first broadcast 24th July 1971, but probably from Harding session first broadcast 16th March 1971,
from which tracks 4 & 5 also come from.

+ Tracks 2 and 3 are from the Peel session first broadcast 21st February 1970, and likely to be from the repeat on 25th April 1970.
