Live in London: The BBC Recordings 1972–1973 is a 2007 compilation album of American folk musician Judee Sill.
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Thom Jurek writing that "it's wonderful to finally have an official release of the late Judee Sill's recordings done for the BBC during 1972 and 1973" and praising the recordings as "heartbreaking", but stating that the 1973 recording is the weakest of the bunch. [1] Writing for Pitchfork Media, Stephen M. Deusner scored this release a 7.0 out of 10 and stated that Sill is "perfectly at home in song", but he criticizes the compilation for being arranged out of chronological sequence. [2] From PopMatters, D. M. Edwards gave Live in London a 7 out of 10, writing that it "should lead newcomers to seek out Sill’s first two studio albums and its beguiling intimacy certainly won’t disappoint those already familiar with her work". [3] Judy Berman of TinyMixTapes also wrote that this album displays that Sill "deserves this newfound attention" and states that the "only major problem with the album is in the compilation" and its arrangement across the different recording sessions. [4]
All songs written by Judee Sill.
A 2015 reissue includes a previously unreleased recording of "The Pearl" (2:05), from February 1973 and shuffles the track listing
