Arrghhhh, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! I've been after the Slab! Peel session for years. Think it was recorded between 'Descention' and the sligtly funkier 'Sanity Allergy'.
Also saw them in live 87' at the Barrel Organ in Birmingham. They were pretty darn good as i recall, supported ,I think, by local fav's at the time 'Cable Regime'. The lead singer and myself were dressed exactly alike, which called for an awkward moment at the bar and much ribbing from my mates.
Sometimes the Peel session versions were superior to the actual final records. One instance I can think of is Nick Cave' first session for Peely, with stuff off 'From Her To Eternity'. He did an awesome version of 'Avalanche' that I've never managed to track down. Sadly, my old tape copy got worn out way before the advent of digital copying.
Will find it one day, well I live in hope.
