A great in-studio live recording of four of The Cure’s earliest tracks for John Peel including “Killing an Arab,” “10.15 Saturday Night,” “Fire in Cairo” and “Boys Don’t Cry.” Super-sparse, a bit jangly, a just-barely-there level of production which really is perfect for The Cure’s early post-punk sound (Tony Wilson of Factory Records infamy produced the EP).  Though all songs were 10 years old at the time of the EP’s release, the record went to #7 on the UK indie chart. “10.15 Saturday Night” and “Fire in Cairo” appeared on The Cure’s debut album Three Imaginary Boys and all four songs appear on the 1980 comp Boys Don’t Cry.

]]> Joy Division “The Peel Sessions” 1979/1986 release on Strange Fruit Records. Joy Division’s 4-song EP recorded and broadcast for BBC’s Radio One with John Peel went to #4 in the UK. At the time of the show in February ‘79, none of the songs had been released. It includes “Transmission,” Joy Division’s groundbreaking debut single on Factory Records which they released in October ‘79, “She’s Lost Control,” which is on Joy Davison’s debut Unknown Pleasures (June ‘79) and also was released as a 12″ single in 1980, “Insight” (also on Unknown Pleasures) and “Exercise One” which they recorded during the Unknown Pleasures sessions but did not appear on any physical releases until the 1981 Still compilation (Factory Records). The EP is fantastic: dark, lush, innovative and their live in-studio recording is pretty much flawless.
