The Best of Rory Gallagher at the BBC (2CD)

These releases celebrate the importance of the artist Rory Gallagher, who was possibly the most
recorded musician of the 1970s by the BBC.
“(‘Tore Down’) That was the first song I ever heard played…It’s a BBC recording of Rory Gallagher
playing at the Paris Theatre in London in July 1972. And I was in the audience, aged 15, and those
opening bars were enough to make me realise that this was something I wanted to do again and
again… ‘Tore Down’ was my introduction to live, loud, amplified blues and when Gallagher had
finished, my 15-year-old self could not contain his excitement. He ran down to the front to shake
Rory’s hand…When the BBC did eventually broadcast the concert, I taped it by leaning the
microphone from my clunky cassette recorder against the speaker of our old transistor radio and I
listened to that tape over and over again” Nick Hornby, Author
