Peel Sessions!
michaelicious:
Peel sessions are basically the shit. So this is the thread where you can talk about your favourite John Peel sessions! Why do you like them? How do they compare to the original recordings? Maybe there is an interesting story or bit of trivia about the particular session. You might even post a link to download the session if you are so inclined.
I am quite fond of the Slits' Peel sessions. I believe there are three separate sessions included. I like how easy it is to trace their progress from the glorious amateurism of their first songs to the sort of fractured dub shit to the more world music inspired stuff. I also like how they retained the same sort of nervous punk energy throughout their progress. What a spectacular band.

What's your favourite John Peel session?
a pack of wolves:
I have a huge amount of love for Gringo On Peel. It was a CD sent out as part of the Gringo records singles club and includes sessions by various Gringo bands like Bilge Pump and some a recording of Wolves! (Of Greece) from something compered by Peel for his show. One of the reasons I love it so much is because it isn't a proper release, it was obviously either taken from the radio or Gringo got sent a recording of them from the BBC so there's Peel talking between the tracks about things like the NME calling Bilge Pump unlistenable guff (which is apparently only technically true). I still really miss the sound of Peel's voice. The other reason I'm so enamoured with it is that when it came out the only Bilge Pump I had was their album Let Me Breathe, which is a real let down on the production side. Maida Vale doesn't disappoint and their sessions sound great.
I put it up in the mediafire thread ages ago, it might still be there.

The Gang of Four Peel Sessions are pretty brilliant. The guitar tone on these songs is essentially perfect.
