Live at the BBC (Sandy Denny album)

Live at the BBC is a four disc compilation of British folk singer songwriter Sandy Denny's BBC sessions from 1966 to 1973 and contains almost all her solo work for the corporation. Disc 4 of the set is a DVD of Denny performing three songs on the music programme One in ten in 1971: the only surviving solo footage of her. This compilation superseded the earlier one-disc set issued on the Strange Fruit label in 1997 that due to rights issues was withdrawn on the day of release thereby creating a highly collectable disc up until the release of this comprehensive set.

Critical reception
It has long been asserted amongst fans of Denny's work that her solo acoustic performances showed her work in its best light with the immediacy of her voice and acoustic accompaniment showing the real quality of her vocal style and compositions. When the Live at the BBC boxset came out in September 2007 it was rapturously praised wherever it was reviewed including the Sunday Express who also ran a two-page spread on Denny's career. The set gained 5 star reviews in Uncut, Record Collector and Mojo, whose critic Jim Irvin asserted in his review that "(The set) provides more evidence that she's among the finest singer-songwriters who ever sang and wrote". This favourable critical response did much to continue the resurgence of interest in Sandy Denny's work. A one-disc highlights edition of the boxset was issued in April 2008 called Sandy Denny: The Best of the BBC Recordings. ==Personnel==
