[360] - Galaxie 500 - Peel Sessions CD
As mentioned before, back in early 2005 I had used my position of employment to acquire a copy of Galaxie 500’s two Peel Sessions. Since I didn’t want my employers to track the leak down to me I passed them onto Ian to share on Dimeadozen. It turns out all the cloak and dagger stuff was a little unnecessary as within six months it was announced that the Peel Sessions would be released officially. This is the second copy of the official CD release and the one that has actually been opened and played.
I’m not 100% sure why I have two copies, and since I also have two copies of the poster that was limited to the first 300 copies of the disc I guess I must have ordered two at the time… which seems a little profligate of me.
The sleeve was by Lara Tomlin and rather divided fans, although the division wasn’t an equal one and most, myself included, weren’t that taken with it at the time. I do like it a lot more now, although not enough for the poster to find a place on display in the museum, although it didn’t help that the posters were delivered folded so had a crease through Dean’s face.
The CD had a hype sticker:
Long awaited, definitive release of previously unavailable recordings by GALAXIE 500. Covers of the SEX PISTOLS and the YOUNG MARBLE GIANTS, together with some of the band's favorite originals.
There is still no vinyl release of the Peel Sessions… just saying.
