BILLY BRAGG : THE PEEL SESSION ALBUM |
|
Label : Strange Fruit Venue : BBC Studios "The John Peel Sessions", London, UK Recording Dates : July 27, 1983 + February 21, 1984 + September 18, 1984 + August 20, 1985 + September 2, 1986 + August 30, 1988 Length : 54:47 Quality : Studio Recordings (A+) Review : This compilation of several studio recordings for the BBC Radio 1 program "The John Peel Sessions" is no longer available as a commercial release. It is presented in crystal clear sound quality. Review (All Music Guide) : Because Billy Bragg started his career as a solo act, these live-in-the-studio radio transcriptions don't offer anything you can't find on Back to Basics. But fanatics will enjoy the occasional lyric deviations, and "A13 Trunk Road to the Sea" (a rewrite of "Route 66" with British directions) is a keeper. |
