Uncle John's Bands
I usually find BBC/John Peel Sessions a little flat- kind of like, yeah I know it sounds like David Bowie but it doesn't feel like him- so I pretty much quit bothering with these releases- till today. I just got RIDE "Waves" (Seventeen original BBC recordings fron the Radio 1 sessions: 1990-1994)- I think this is my favorite Ride CD. It makes me wonder what other Peel Session or BBC Session title is a must have?
The Shellac session
that was recorded as tribute to John Peel after his passing. The End of Radio...
what is shellac like?
?:)
Google Shellac End of Radio
and you should be able to find the session available for download.
delgados
pulp
the fall
wedding present
these are BBC recommends or these are like shellac?
.
no
these are bands to have released amazingly good BBC/Peel session cds/box sets
The Government Commissions CD
by Mogwai. It's all their BBC sessions. I think most, if not all, of them are Peel Sessions.
The first And You Will Know Us by the Trail of the Dead one is mad too. Crazy ass Texans.
The Slits
Peel Sessions are pretty damned good, albeit rather different to "Cut".
Also: The Sonic Youth session where they solely cover The Fall. It's aces.
The Smiths
Many of them are on Hatful..., but a lot of the better ones are available online.
