Peel session recordings sound so good. Often much better than album versions.

Thanks for posting this. Love it- got a great sparse, desolate feel to it, far better than the album version.

Probably my favourite ever PiL song. Have always loved the echoey, spacey sound/feel of the Paris au printemps version but this is great. Unfortunately as madcapoperator pointed out, the bass sound is a little weak here.

I like how these sessions are actually much better produced than all of metal box lol. still, the bass doesnt have the same oompf as that album here.
