LP - Limited Edition Duck Egg Blue Vinyl & Inner bag with unseen photos. Three previously unreleased John Peel BBC Sessions, from 1982, ‘83 and ’84. Includes four songs never recorded or released elsewhere.
This Play Dead collection features ten tracks, four of which were never recorded elsewhere and early versions of some of their most popular songs such as The Tenant and Propaganda. Between 1980-85 they grew into one of the UK’s leading post- punk bands with regular indie chart hits and a large loyal live following.
The Peel Sessions helped with their exposure alongside extensive gigging (with UK Decay, Sex Gang Children, Killing Joke, The Cult and more), subsequent headline tours in their own right and a live spot on the UK’s top music TV programme, The Tube.
