John Peel Session Recordings - Cover (front)

Remarks

• Two versions of this bootleg do basically exist. Both are limited editions.

• The coverart of all these issues is very similar and shows the same band photo

on the cover front as the Australian A Fire In The Hull bootleg, although,

the latter was released later and features the Hull concert of 1st July 1983.

• The layout of the covers does differ, however.

Also, for the second edition (the so-called die-hard edition),

the material chosen for the cover varies, see more details below.

• The first edition consists of only one 10" record and has a shorter track list.

It also features Burn, which is not on the second edition and was not recorded

during a Radio One Session with John Peel,

but in 1983, rather, during the Kid Jensen Show.

• This edition is limited to 10 hand-numbered copies.

• Apart from the track list and the slightly changed title "John Peel Sessions 1982/1983/1984"

the back cover also shows a photo of band from the early days. But not the same as on the cover front.

• The second and so-called die-hard edition consists of three different issues

and is limited to 33 numbered copies (each, we guess)

• It appears in the following varieties:

- blue cloth cover

- red leather cover

- black velvet cover

• All of these covers are gatefold with the vinyls coming in additional sleeves.
