So what do you do when you’ve had a run of BBC sessions and fancy trying something different? How about a session of cover versions, with each member of the band choosing a song? The Soup Dragons were changing before our ears – one listen to their version of Purple Haze tells you that. Also features a six-second arthouse prank that reportedly did not entirely amuse John Peel.
NB - there are four Soup Dragons sessions altogether so please get the FOUR-PACK (attached to PRE 018) if you fancy them all. Or there's a bundle for just two.

about

So what do you do when you’ve had a run of BBC sessions and fancy trying something different? How about a session of cover versions, with each member of the band choosing a song? The Soup Dragons were changing before our ears – one listen to their version of Purple Haze tells you that.

Of course, their fondness for a cover was to re-emerge years later with Top 5 hit I’m Free (a Rolling Stones song); they didn’t do that song for the BBC – but we do have a six-second arthouse prank that reportedly did not entirely amuse John Peel. Sleeve notes by Sushil K Dade; mastered by Sean Dickson. Includes download codes and a set of postcards.

it's an absolute treat to have both of The Orchids Peel.sessions available digitally and on vinyl. I'd forgotten just how good they sounded. Four fantastic songs - a rip-roaring version of the much loved Caveman and the beautiful Dirty Clothing from the greatest album of the 90s, Unholy Soul. Truly wonderful. richardw27

Surely one of the best, if not THE best, of the so-called "indie pop" bands of the 80's. Sublime melodies, catchy hooks and fantastic lyrics combine to make some of the greatest pop music of any decade. Pete Astor is one of my favourite songwriters and continues to make incredibly great music still. Barrissey
