REVIEW

Okay, so it's another boot CD with the John Peel sessions on (from the radio program 'top gear', broadcast dates 04.02 and 12.05 - teejo)! But don't let that put you off, because these are the best sound quality of these tracks I have yet heard. Even if they aren't the original BBC tapes and they do include Mr. Peel's chatter over a couple of the songs they are still excellent. What also makes this CD worth looking for is the inclusion of the 'Electricity' track from the January session. This is often missing from the tapes circulating and wasn't on the other boot CDs. I have only heard a poor quality version of it before, but the version here is much better, although there is more 'hiss' and is obviously not from the same source as the rest of the tracks. The other surprise here is that the songs from the May session include the full version of 'Trust Us' - the full 7 minutes 25 seconds - absolutely awesome, worth getting just for this!
