John Peel Shows 1980-85 - CD Cover (front)
John Peel Shows 1980-85 - CD Cover Front (inside)


Apart from two Radio One Sessions in 1982 and 1984, BBC presenter John Peel, who was a big fan of the band, played several tracks from The Sisters of Mercy during his various radio features. The John Peel fanbase did a great job in researching and listing these appearances and the according available recordings in their John Peel Wiki.

A very interesting read on this issue can also be found in the most enjoyable blog I Was A Teenage Sisters of Mercy Fan under the entry Sisters Mysteries V – did Peel play Damage Done?.

Moreover, The Sisters' fanbase collated a compilation of most of these broadcasted tracks and made them available to the interested connoisseur, the result of which is represented here, accompanied with some likewise fan-produced coverart. This recording and all its features are for personal (and promotional) use only, and by no means meant for sale or any other abuse.
