Amazon.co.uk Review
Three highly sought after concerts, one of which has never been reissued before. The classic Chris Barber line-up at its peak in the Trad boom. Part of the on-going 'Record Supervision Collection' series of classic British jazz reissues. Three highly regarded and much sought after albums brought together on one double CD. One of the concerts (Copenhagen) has never been issued in any form before. There is an added bonus of two previously unissued tracks from a previous concert.

Classic Vintage Barber November 21, 2008
I agree entirely with the previous reviewer in his praise of this CD. As a Barber fan from the band's beginning in the mid fifties, I bought almost every record they released (without listening first!) including the three concert LPs making up the CD. I bought mono versions,not owning stereo equipment at the time. They are given a new lease of life in clear digital stereo sound which is a great achievment by the engineers, given the relatively "primitive" recording conditions. My favourite (and I suspect most other people's) has to be the German concert especially when the original sleeve notes tell of the recording difficulties encountered!
The band, as always, was in superb form on all the tracks, but my favourite is "Gotta Travel On" which captures the bouncy, melodic and highly accomplished sound of 1959 with exciting solos from the front line. I think this is the only version of the tune Chris recorded, which is strange, given his many new recordings of band favourites.
Anyway,happy listening. It brings back memories of one's long-lost youth!!
Outstanding - a must April 13, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Of all live recordings this one is up with the best (Berlin Deutschhalle, East Berlin, Nurnberg, Fairfiel Halls)- all concert locations on this 2 CD set find the pre "Jazz and Blues" line up at its liveliest with that springing forward momentum with which the Barber bands surpassed their UK trad contempories. The rapport with the audiences produces a driving excitement seldom matched on so many tracks.
