Release Date: October 31st 2011
Following last year’s popular release of downloads from the famous Peel Sessions, EMI is pleased to announce the release of ‘Movement – BBC Radio 1 Peel Sessions 1977–1979’, the first in a series of compilations of BBC Radio 1 Peel Sessions, in partnership with the BBC, a partnership which enables us to make available for the first time some incredible live performances from distinguished artists.
Movement features 41 different artists/songs, covering the hugely musically fertile, and influential, period from 1977–1979. From the ‘year zero’ birth of Punk, Movement includes session tracks from such era-defining and esteemed artists such as Buzzcocks, The Adverts, The Slits, The Skids, Wire and John Cooper Clark, as well as those who transcended the pub rock scene and influenced the punk generation – Dr Feelgood and Ian Dury & The Blockheads – and post-punk, electronica-influenced artists such as The Monochrome Set, Magazine, Joy Division, OMD and PiL, and a selection of reggae and Two Tone artists – Steel Pulse, UB40, The Specials, Madness and The Beat.
Many of these sessions were recorded at the BBC’s famous Maida Vale Studios, for John Peel’s invaluable and hugely influential radio show. All of these tracks are very rare – having only previously appeared on Peel Sessions/Strange Fruit vinyl releases – with many of them being previously unreleased in any format.
This is a unique project between EMI and the BBC, making available material that both parties commonly control, from the BBC archives.
Movement will be the first in a series of Peel Sessions compilations, to get your copy of the album, click here.
