Album: When War Is Over: BBC Recordings 1973 & 1975 (1998)
Genre: Prog Folk (British Folk)  /  UK

The second CD of this set is a fairly lacklustre set recorded live in concert for BBC Radio in 1975 which I would rate *** at best. The rating I have given is for the first disc which consists of two 1973 BBC radio sessions plus a version of his classic "One More Bottle of Wine" (one of three versions on the two CD's) recorded the day after the 1975 concert. The first session includes three songs from Pipedream , which sound brighter and crisper than on the album, plus a version of "When the War is Over" the highlight of the first Lindisfarne Mk II album Roll on Ruby . The second session includes solo versions of two songs which would later appear on Lindisfarne's 1974 Happy Daze ("Gin & Tonics All Round" & "Dealer's Choice") plus "One More Bottle of Wine" and "Dan the Plan" which surfaced on his 1975 Squire. Overall, I think this CD is a more enjoyable experience than either of the two solo albums mentioned above. Review by "sfhulluk" (Rate Your Music).

RATING:  8 / 10
