Friends, there is hope again on the KBD front and after a long time finally a new compilation is out and the creators of Vatican Radio Records have the great idea "to conjure up one of the best punk rock compilations we've heard in a long time, from the amazingly rich vaults of John Peel's BBC 1 radio session recordings. Focusing on the less known side of the huge Peel Sessions catalog, Killed By John Peel comes stuffed to the rafters with mind blowing and little known gems from the opening track with French Synth Punk pioneers Métal Urbain and the incendiary recording of their hit E-202 to the closing with the kick ass Power Pop Punk hit She's Alarming by the Wasps, each and every single track on this monster record presents a band at their prime giving it all @ the legendary BBC Radio1 studios." And to my knowledge, Volume 2 is about to be release and we can look forward to it. Great stuff and absolute essential!
1.E-202 - MÉTAL URBAIN
2.Gangland Warfare - THE OUTCASTS
3.Antipope - KING
4.Yummy Yummy - RUDI
5.Jealousy - IDIOT DANCERS
6.Further Education - THE CORTINAS
7.Going Round In Circles - ALTERNATIVE TV
8.Open Sound 1978 - SKIDS
9.She's Alive - SCARS
10.Countdown - THE LURKERS
11.Energy Boy - THE FLYS
12.Haircut Bob Dylan - FUNBOY FIVE
13.Bits - PRAGVEC
14.She's Alarming - THE WASPS
AWESOME!!! THANKS A LOT :))
ReplyDeleteNearly all these tracks are officially released, though. So not really as killer as it could have been. Most of the stuff on this is played on BBC6 6 Music Live Hour and the Gideon Coe show. Marc Riley plays BBC Session songs all the time, too. Streaming every day.
ReplyDeletethat may be so, and thx for the info, bat29. But it is good that after a long time someone takes the trouble and keeps KBD alive.
DeleteSure nothing wrong with that. If you supply me with an email address I can send to you a lot of KBD stuff for your blog if ya want it. I often make comps for myself to listen to. I don't have the time to post all the stuff. But you could if you wanted it.
Deletethanks for the offer, but I'm fed up with KBD stuff.
Delete"Killed By Peel" is a cool idea, wish I'd thought of it!
ReplyDelete@bat29, if you don't have time to post your comps on Noise Addiction, I would be happy to host them at jonderblog!
schickes Teil

DeleteHello, thank you very much for your terrific blog! About the link attached to this post : I've tried to make it work about twenty times, Mediafire does its usual "hard-to-get" thing, but this time I can't get past it. It doesn't say that the link is broken, though. Could you please check it? Thank you anyway!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, link's fixed to kraken, get it!
