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.
