Original BBC recordings digitally remastered in 2004. The BBC sessions and In Concert series have a legendary reputation and many have released them. The Sound recorded 2 of each, they are all here in their entirety. This is the band at their raw intense blistering best. Hothouse is included in the original long & previously unreleased version. It was dramatically edited and rearranged before being released as a single. CD1 - Sessions - Tracks 1 - 4 were recorded for Mike Read's 'The Evening Show' at Maida Vale Studio 4 on 26-9-1980 and first transmitted 6-10-1980. Tracks 5 to 8 were recorded for the John Peel Show at Maida Vale Studio 4 on 9/11/81 and first transmitted 16/11/81. CD2 - BBC In Concert - Recorded at the Paris Studios in Lower Regent Street, London. Tracks 1 to 7 were originally recorded 1/11/81 and first transmitted 21/11/81. Tracks 8 to 13 were originally recorded 24/4/85 and first transmitted 15/6/85. This is a must have for any Sound fan and a great way to discover the greatness of one of the '80s' best-kept secrets. Highly recommended!
