Five CD box set encapsulating the very best of Howard Jones' BBC Session and live concert performance broadcasts. Featuring nine previously unreleased session tracks including 'What Can I Say?' which is remastered from the original master tape for the very first time. Decades before YouTube and streaming, the biggest influence on British pop music fans was exposure to artists via the BBC. In the '80s, BBC Radio remained a primal force in establishing the relevance and momentum of musicians, including for Howard Jones, himself. In the period between 1983-87, the BBC broadcast four different sessions by Howard; two of these for the Kid Jensen Show and two for the Janice Long Show. This box set contains all 19 of these session tracks including the complete 'White Tape' demo recordings that Howard gave to the BBC to broadcast as his second session in May of 1983. The box set also includes three In Concert live performances and the previously unheard complete Oxford Road Show performance that was simulcast on BBC Radio 1 and BBC2 on 15th March 1985.
