I'm not sure, but regardless they should be given a dedicated release -just like PJ Harvey's and Mogwai's rather excellent Peel Session tapes have been.

i know. OR like the pixies, meaning not just Peel, but any BBC sessions. remember, they did at least 1, if not more mark goodier sessions as well.

should we e-mail the beeb about a possible release? :)

Peel Sessions are always the best.

with almost every band I love, these recordings are always my favorite.

the Peel Sessions of Spiritualized, Jesus and Mary Chain, Pixies and even the White Stripes (I'm not sure if they are among my favorite bands, but the two sessions I have rock) are what I listen to the most.

R.I.P. John Peel :(

live material shall not be bought or sold, not ussualy anyways.

and peel sessions are "live" in my book....

your book is nice and all, but i'd prefer an lp over an mp3.

an lp is a document, i'm willing to pay money for a document of time(s) in sy's history. especially if there were some pics + words involved.

but that's just me. you wouldn't have to buy it.

I just know the "4 tunna brix" peel sessions. Does anybody have the other ones?

so....all those live shows out there with neat sonic spill between songs and killer noise outros etc etc...yr gonna wait for all that to be released as albums?

good luck man...cause it aint happenin'.

and if i honestly had to bet, the more i think about it sy's peel sessions prolly wont be released as actual albums (there is a commercial bootleg floating around somewhere of the first peel session...i beleive its called "4 tunna brix")

-s.

are you trying to pick an argument for the sake of it or did you just completely misinterpret me?

your "book" is different to mine; i personally regard peel sessions as seperate entities from live gigs. from that you've somehow taken the rediculous leap from me suggesting the idea of a dedicated SY Peel Session release in my last post; to SY releasing every live show ever on wax. that's pure farce and it's left me wondering what exactly you're smoking.

but yeah actually i regularly listen to SY bootlegs because i think they're are at their best live - and the two times i've had the privilege to see them live, they blew me away. it's nice reliving that experience.
