New Order: The Peel Sessions (1987)

This is the first Peel Session recorded, but it was second one released. It contains Truth, Senses, I.C.B., and Dreams Never End. Mine (a Canadian pressing) has a delete drill hole, meaning that it was remaindered. And now, this is pricey.

New order: The Peel Sessions (1986)

This EP contains the tracks for the second Peel Session, broadcast on June 1, 1982. I have the original UK pressing. The tracks are:

Turn The Heater On
We All Stand
Too Late
5-8-6

The first track is a cover version, written by Jamaican reggae star, Keith Hudson. This EP is simply awesome.

Joy Division: Peel Sessions (1990/2010)

This record compiles the two Peel Sessions releases onto one disc. The 1986 and 1987 releases contained four tracks each and, in 1990, they were united on this LP with a spelling mistake. My copy is unofficial, or a bootleg, from 2010. Both sessions were recorded way back in 1979.

On the original pressing, Exercise One is misspelled as Excercise One. In the bootlegger's zeal to capitalize on a long out-of-print, and now expensive record, they carried forward the misspelling. I guess they wanted to make an exact as possible copy, and they did. It looks amazing, but there are some differences in text on the rear jacket.

This copy sounds pretty good to my ears.

Echo And The Bunnymen: The Peel Sessions (1988)

Untitled
There were two pressings of this EP, one of which listed some titles incorrectly. This EP contains four tracks: Read it in Books, Stars are Stars, I Bagsy Yours, and Villiers Terrace. I believe the recordings date to 1979.
