John Peel Session 13.01.99

Chart-topping, million-selling, hamster-bothering Peel favourites of the 90s … Welcome the Cuban Boys to the Precious roster with their debut session for the legendary Radio 1 DJ, released to coincide with their 25th anniversary.

Four tracks are headed by the unforgettable Oh My God! They Killed Kenny, which reached number six in Peel’s Festive 50; they were number one the following year with Cognoscenti vs Intelligentsia (the one with the hamster, destined to become a proper chart smash, pop pickers).

This session also features three more Cuban classics, among them a cover of Blondie’s Hanging On The Telephone that longserving BBC producer Mike Engles listed among his personal favourites from his decades at the Maida Vale studios.

Release features free download codes, a set of postcards and sleeve notes from the one and only Ricardo Autobahn.
