Gang of Four "The Peel Sessions Album" (1990)

The Peel Sessions Album (compilation)
release date: 1990
format: cd (SFRCD107)
[album rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,42]
producer:  Bob Sargeant (1-8); Phil Stannard (9-11)
label: Strange Fruit - nationality: England, UK

Compilation album as well as a heavily enhanced reissue of the original The Peel Sessions album from 1986. The album nicely compiles three John Peel-sessions for the BBC on one album - the first four tracks are identical to the original 1986 ep release, then follows four tracks from the second session recorded Jul. 2, 1979, and ending with the last three tracks from the band's third session, recorded Mar. 9, 1981.
This is a fine compilation.
