Are you ready to hear the best live band of
the early '70s? We at Real Gone Music have
been privileged and proud to release Fanny's
four classic Reprise albums, each a tuneful

testament as to why they were the first all-
female band signed to a major label. But there

has always been a piece missing from the
Fanny fable; for while the band hooked up with
big-time producers and engineers like Richard
Perry, Todd Rundgren, and Geoff Emerick,
their studio albums never really were able
to capture the sheer excitement they could
generate in concert. However, buried away
in a vault thousands of miles away from their
Los Angeles base there long lay a recording that
could make the Fanny myth a reality, one that
could provide the emphatic answer as to why
these four ladies were the hottest ticket on the
Sunset Strip during the early '70s. Now, over
50 years later, its time-and their time-has
come. Live on Beat-Club '71-'72 presents the
two sets Fanny recorded for the German TV
show, mastered by Mike Milchner of Sonic
Vision from hi-res mono files taken from the
original videotape. Aside from the incendiary
and incredibly tight performances, what
immediately becomes apparent is that all
four of these women were powerhouses in her own right.
June Millington's stringbending Les Paul wizardry, her sister Jean's
driving, melodic bass lines and Janis Joplin-esque vocals, Nickey Barclay's intricate yet
somehow rocking keyboard work, and Alice de Buhr's precise, piston-like drumming
punctuated by ferocious fills-put together Fanny was an overwhelming display of
talent, Yet somehow, as these shows reveal, live they were greater than the sum of
their parts. That's why getting these recordings released has long been a crusade
for Alice, and why June tells the story in the accompanying liner notes (which feature
contributions from June, Jean, and Alice) that the engineer who was assigned to do
the transfers of all the Beat-Club material told her that their material was the best in the
vault, better even than Hendrix.
