various: killed by john peel vol 1

From the amazingly rich vaults of John Peel's BBC 1 Radio session recordings, comes one of the best punk rock compilations in a long while. 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 Metal 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 of a record presents a band at their prime giving it all at the legendary BBC Radio 1 studios. Absolutely essential! Also features Outcasts, King, Rudi, Idiot Dancers, The Cortinas, Alternative TV, Skids, Scars, The Lurkers, The Flys, Funboy Five, and Pragvec.
