4-track ep by Joy Division. These are the first John Peel recordings with the band but it figures as the second Joy Division Peel Sessions release [!]. Like the other Peel Session with the band, this also contains 4 previously unreleased tracks. It was recorded two months earlier than SFPS 013 on Nov. 26, 1979 and had its first broadcast 14 days later on Dec. 10, 1979. Both original vinyl releases were reissued on one cd as Peel Sessions (1990), a compilation of the two Peel Sessions - Joy Division. The John Peel BBC Radio 1 broadcast series has been a huge commercial success with the album releases of hundreds of radio transmitted live recordings. The Peel Sessions was released on Strange Fruit Records, a record label established by Clive Selwood and John Peel in 1986, primarily to release selected recordings of the many John Peel BBC 1 radio broadcasts on album. Actually, the very first album release was The Peel Sessions - New Order.
