The BBC Recordings

Two discs of BBC sessions and concerts, including the 1981 Peel session.
The Sound, 2004

Disc one is 31:53 of studio sessions: a Mike Read session broadcast in October 1980 ("Heartland", "Unwritten Law", "Jeopardy", "I Can't Escape Myself") and a John Peel session broadcast on November 16, 1981 with "Fatal Flaw" (4:29), "Skeletons" (3:26), "Hothouse" (3:55) and "New Dark Age" (5:23). Borland, Bailey and Mayers played on the Peel session, produced by Tony Wilson with Anthony Pugh engineering. Disc two has In Concert broadcasts of November 21, 1981 and June 15, 1985. AllMusic gave it 4 of 5 and Uncut 5. The title of our upload, Hothouse (The BBC Recordings), suggests the Peel session version, but we could not confirm that.
