This album presents My Bloody Valentine’s legendary set, recorded for BBC Radio 1’s John Peel Sessions, at Broadcasting House, in London, on 25 September 1988.

A pivotal, early document of the shoegaze pioneers, the session captured live versions of tracks from the band’s soon-to-be-released debut album, Isn’t Anything. The four-song set included I Can See It (But I Can’t Feel It), Lose My Breath, (When You Wake) You’re Still in a Dream and Feed Me With Your Kiss. These performances possess a vigour that the album versions don’t, with these takes fizzing with an energy that can really be felt.

Alongside the Peel session tracks are a selection of rarities. Highlights include a truly stunning take on Wire’s Map Ref. 41°N 93°W. Taken from the 1996 covers album Whore: Various Artists Play Wire, it finds the band in post-Loveless mode as they deconstruct the original, taking all the edges, smoothing them off and taking the original into a washed out, other worldly space.

Also included, are the instrumentals that accompanied the first 5,000 copies of Isn’t Anything. Instrumental No. 1 fizzes with a punk exuberance and walls of noise, but it’s with Instrumental No. 2 that the band really mix things up. Featuring a sample from Public Enemy’s Security of the First World, the song charts My Bloody Valentine’s first steps into making truly genre-blurring music. Something they would later go on to do with both their Loveless and m b v albums.
