Album

The Old Grey Whistle Test usually abbreviated to Whistle Test or OGWT was a British television music show. It was commissioned by David Attenborough and aired on BBC2 from 1971 to 1988. It took over the BBC2 late night slot from Disco 2, which ran between September 1970 and July 1971, while continuing to feature non-chart music. The show was devised by BBC producer Rowan Ayers. The original producer, involved in an executive capacity throughout the show's entire history, was Michael Appleton. Contrasts like this illustrate what The Old Grey Whistle Test was about: putting the best music, whatever its form, into the living rooms of the limited-to-three-channels public. Presented as the first part of a series of OGWT collections, this double-disc release does slip up in not featuring more recordings from the show itself. Only two tracks Patti Smiths Because the Night a co-write with Bruce Springsteen, originally appearing on 1978s Easter and Al Stewarts Year of the Cat are presented as live-on-the-BBC versions. Hopefully further sets will include more like these, assembled i.

Let us know what you think of the website. Leave feedback. API Calls. I have collected several Old Grey Whistle Test albums so far but this is one of the rarest to buy online nowadays. The songs on this 2 disc box are not as like how they are on all the other albums, they're taken from their live performances where the audience was there. So If there's some stuff on this double CD that's not even on the other OGWT albums, you probably should have this in your collection. This album does not contain the actual Whistle Test versions of the various tracks. Rather it comprises simply the studio versions of the songs. For the numbers as actually performed on the Test you need to go to the various DVDs which have been issued. To longtime fans of the legendary BBC music series Old Grey Whistle Test, do not raise your hopes for this 2010 compilation: it does not feature live performances from the show, it rounds up 38 album cuts and hits from artists that appeared on the show during the 70s and early 80s.
