[wiremu]

I came in later, but learnt every note from Rattus' ,No More Heroes and Black and White. HC had such a sparse, industrial yet melodic style. Fanfuckingtastic. As an old geezer with two children the only band I really like nowadays that gives me anything similar is Fucked Up.

[Firefred1]

Thanks for posting! I just subscribed to your channel. I like the Stranglers.

[dagenhamdave77]

[waynesadleruk]

So great to hear this again - always loved the keyboard solo we never got to hear on the album version!

Thanks for uploading!!

They were radio sessions by Radio 1 dj John Peel, a guy who championed punk and alternative music on mainstream radio. He sadly died a few years ago.

[atomicFlyer]

Nice! What were the peel sessions? Was that a live broadcast?

[CombatRocks]

If it wasn't for John Peel many of the punk/new wave bands would never have been heard. He championed many bands in his late night shows who would never had been played on mainstream radio.

Peel was as punk as the bands - he didn't give a shit for the contemporary sounds of the day and absolutely hated the pompous crap coming from Yes and their ilk.

Thanks to Mr Peel we had the most exciting musical era in the late 70s - without him it probably would had never got out of London. RIP John.

@atomicFlyer haha..a Dj on Uk BBC Radio Ones late slot..chmpioned great bands like The Stranglers, The Undertones and The Smiths to name but a few...and yes these "Peel Sessions" were "as" live prerecorded live tracks...was great listening as an early teen for me, with Kid Jenson just before...so Comsat Angels, Skids, Cocteau Twins..Stranglers etc etc.. great time to grow up with music

[SirBanuTheFourth]

@atomicFlyer You're joking right?
