Following last year’s popular release of downloads from the famous Peel Sessions, BBC and EMI will work together for the October 17th release of ‘Movement - BBC Radio 1 Peel Sessions 1977–1979’, the first in a series of compilations of BBC Radio 1 Peel Sessions.
‘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, and The Slits, to those who transcended the pub rock scene and influenced the punk generation, like Dr Feelgood and Ian Dury & The Blockheads.
Also included are post-punk and electronica-influenced artists such as The Monochrome Set, Magazine and Joy Division, 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. The tracklist can be seen below.
