If was an innovative British jazz-rock outfit that flourished in the early 70s and released a slew of critically acclaimed albums. Focusing on the period 1970-72, this superb collection from the BBC archives reveals the band playing with all the excitement and freedom engendered by live performance. 

Tenor saxophonist and flute player Dick Morrissey, fellow sax player Dave Quincy, lead guitarist Terry Smith and vocalist JW Hodkinson can all be heard on this 2CD set which includes dynamic arrangements of ‘I’m Reaching Out On All Sides’, ‘Your City Is Falling’ and ‘Fibonacci’s Number’, together with a complete <i>In Concert</i> broadcast from 1972. 

Compiled by Colin Harper, after fifty years and more these historic recordings are at last available on CD. Dave Quincy and Terry Smith tell the story of the band in new interviews with Repertoire’s Chris Welch in the comprehensive liner notes which accompany this essential collection. A perfect complement to Repertoire’s existing If reissues.
