"Given the price tag, Bert at the BBC will appeal mostly to collectors and hardcore fans. But make no mistake, this is an essential historical document in the annals of British folk and blues".

"Bert at the BBC is a truly glorious collection, yet, if there is one thing that may be missing, it is Jansch's rather wicked sense of humour. For that, we leave you with this recollection from Mary Hopkin. "Tony (Visconti her husband) asked him how he counted the bars and beats of his songs, with their complex time changes. Bert replied, "Oh I just count one, one, one, one ..."" Bert Jansch was a true original".

"One of the great joys of radio recordings is that they carry the immediacy and spontaneity of a live performance, but with the sound quality of a studio. The best of both words, and this doesn't disappoint. Praise to the compilers for doing such a thorough job in the archives, and also to Colin Harper, who literally wrote the book on Jansch, for his exhaustive and very informative sleeve notes".
