Another musical new release with a bit of Brontë on it:
Beggars Arkive is proud to announce the inaugural BBC Radio Sessions vinyl series, featuring ten performances recorded for John Peel, each pressed to 12" clear vinyl exclusively for subscribers, alongside a bespoke foil-numbered record box and certificate of authenticity.
The Arts Desk explains a bit more the release and why it is featured on this blog:
Something special from Beggars Banquet, the gothy post-punk Eighties indie (though it began in the Seventies), which eventually became home to a wide range of styles. As is demonstrated by the new 500-limited-edition Beggars Arkive box. The idea is that those interested subscribe and receive transparent 12” BBC session EPs, with the whole box of ten available later in the year. They are all John Peel sessions apart from four One Live cuts from 2003 by unpindownable Brighton feminist alt-indie group Electrelane. (...) Nineties Northumbland punks China Drum with their best-known tune, their cover of “Wuthering Heights”; (...) . It’s a rip-roaring selection that showcases indie fare at its most freewheeling, loose and exciting. (Thomas H. Green)
