In August of 2000, I wrote the BBC requesting detailed information about
the radio sessions for Timebox and Patto. Information for Timebox
was not available, except that the Colour Me Pop television appearance
was broadcast on December 7, 1968. However, they were able to
provide details for all of Patto's BBC sessions except the live "In
Concert" appearance in 1971, for which the exact
recording/broadcast dates remain unknown.
According to the BBC, the band was banned from the BBC for over a year for missing a scheduled recording session for the "Sounds of the Seventies" program in October of 1971. According to an article in a December issue of Timeout, Ollie took over for Bob Fripp in Centipede just days before their gig at The Royal Albert Hall. Patto couldn't do the BBC session, because the date of the session was also the only possible date for Ollie to rehearse with Centipede before playing the Royal Albert Hall. The BBC ban on Patto was lifted early in 1973. According to Richard Lane, only the June 18, 1971 and January 23,
1973 sessions still exist in the BBC archives. |
