Peel Sessions

Any favourites? Apart from The Fall (which is wonderful). I'm currently listening to Siouxsie and The Banshees - Voices On The Air - The Peel Sessions. Astounding!
The PJ Harvey one is amazing too.

I remember really enjoying the Sonic Youth one where they just did cover versions of Fall songs.

I'll look out for that. Sounds like a marriage made in hell!
The Birthday Party Peel sessions are incredible.

The Only Ones' Peel sessions are not just great in their own right, but superior to the album versions in their unpolished rawness. The same applies to the Gang of Four's. Fairport Convention's "Top Gear" sessions (as collected on "Heyday") include some great renditions of American folk rock classics that Joe Boyd didn't want them to release on their own records because he thought they should emphasize their Englishness.

Th' Faith Healers, F.S.K., Datblygu, all those Ivor Cutler ones, The Associates...and I guess a bunch more. There's one where Crass really take the piss out of old Peely which was especially funny.

I distinctly remember the first JAMC session being magnificent. And it was.

I'll second all three of those. The Bogshed sessions are also highly recommended, though you'll have to do a blogspot search to find 'em as they are (for the time being) officially unreleased. Likewise, the work of the wonderful Stump.
