Oh! The Fall John Peel Sessions box set! OH! you guys.

I am hoping against hope this is a Coasters cover.

i remember this as if it were yesterday. wow. i must buy this."

I remember the two 1978 sessions as if they were yesterday.

What happened yesterday unfortunately is rather less clear.

I confidently predict that this presence or absence of this set from any individual's collection is going to rapidly become recognised as a one of the crucial defining indicators of that individual's hip quotient.

Yeah, I don't agree. It's certainly a cooler thing than the umpteenth Fall live album, but it's still peripheral to the albums proper.

I'm not sure quite what you're disagreeing with: that it should happen or that it will happen.

Fwiw I'm certainly not suggesting that I think that it should happen - but (provided it remains reasonably available) I'm convinced this box set will end up eclipsing every one of the individual albums proper as the "must own" Fall title.

1. Extricate
2. The wonderful and Frightening
3. This nations saving grace
4. The one with Glam Racket and Free Range and that...
5. other
6. other

But, yeah.

4. The one with Glam Racket and Free Range and that...

That's two, actually -- Code: Selfish and The Infotainment Scan.

xpost

it is awesome

I cannot wait for this, the "Sparta FC" on here is defintive, like a lot of the vers of these songs

The "I can hear the grass grow" session was on that MES documentary on BBC4. no doubt to be repeated soon on BBC2...

Fall Street parties in April.

Not arguing so much as questioning how much I'd play the thing given that I have most of the tracks already on the albums proper.

bastard.

i must buy this.

(ha, and that was Antidotes off that session)

Amazon have the MP3 version for £2.99 just now.

That's almost worth getting even if you have the box already!

Well that's a no brainer then.

This is my favorite ILM thread ever. And such a damn shame the lads don't record any radio sessions anymore, for anyone.

Yeah, they recorded an extra track as a prezzie for John Peel on their last ever Peel Session (as it turned out)

There was a small amount of 'other' BBC sessions (Kid Jensen or Mike Read or Janice Long or maybe Andy Kershaw), they probably should get compiled some place..

I don't suppose the links work, but here's a list of them (comments section has dates and corrections)

Discovered I had a £1 download credit on Amazon I didn't know about so I got this for £1.99.

Which translates into #97 on the big chart.

Really? Hey Yeah!

Mind you, it does remind me when "Relationship and the Briefcases" got to number one in the Vitaminic "Alt/Lo-Fi" chart, because that week I bought two copies, one for me and one for the other guitarist on it.

ARE THERE ANY WHISPERS THAT THIS MIGHT COME OUT ON LP? HOW IS ONE SUPPOSED TO GET IT WITH NOTHING BUT A RECORD PLAYER? ITS NOT FAIR! PLEASE DO SOMETHING SOMEBODY

OK, check the album chart today, this could be one of them if there are some in there...

24.09.80: Container Drivers – Jawbone And The Air Rifle – New Puritan – New Face In Hell

This is quite some radio session. Didn't realize, or had forgotten, that "Jawbone" dated from the "Grotesque" era.

OK, check the album chart today, this could be one of them if there are some in there...

This could be one of what if there are which in where?

there could be some fall lps in the new album chart (published in about an hour)

and if there are some in there then one of that some in there could be the peel session box.

that seems... wildly unlikely

though tbf there are three copies from 3rd-party sellers on Amazon. If someone pays the £732 asking price that counts as 2000 sales, right?

Nothing in album or single chart that I can see

(And downloads count now, don't forget)

Ah well

(And downloads count now, don't forget)

Which e-tailers have it for download? I only tried Amazon, iTunes/Apple, 7digital and Boomkat, but I thought that should have been a representative sample

Oh, I didn't mean the peel box specifically, was just pointing out that you don't need to buy CDs for something to chart.

(In fact, don't streams also count now?)

No idea where this stuff is available. Maybe the obvious interest will mean that improves.

I'm guessing that if Discogs/second-hand sales were chart eligible, there'd be a few in this week.
