John Peel Session 17.10.96

A rarity among Peel sessions in the mid-1990s as this one went out entirely live when the legendary DJ was sitting in for Mark Radcliffe and invited garage-punk stalwarts The Flaming Stars in to do the honours.

Never before released in any format, this outing at the BBC’s Oxford Road studios in Manchester finds the band in blistering form with a four-song blast featuring stunning versions of early singles ‘Ten Feet Tall’ and ‘Bury My Heart at Pier 13’.

Ten-inch vinyl limited edition of 350 copies featuring a set of postcards plus download codes – and a sleeve essay by Max Décharné and cover collage designed by Joe Whitney.
