For the most dedicated of Rory Gallagher fans - certainly, those with deep pockets - there is The BBC Collection, an exhaustive box set comprising 18 CDs and two Blu-ray discs filled with concert recordings and studio sessions dating from 1971 to 1986.
The highlights include previously unreleased versions of early 70s classics Crest Of A Wave and A Million Miles Away, a Reading Festival headlining set from 1980, and a 2005 radio documentary narrated by another legendary Irish guitarist who had a deep connection to the blues, Gary Moore. Other highlights can also be found in The Best Of Rory Gallagher At The BBC, released simultaneously in two-CD and triple-vinyl formats. Of its 24 tracks, 11 are taken from live-in-the-studio sessions.
