Birdland - 6th June 1989
Well I have to say it's good to be back and over the coming months this site will (all being well) become bigger and better than ever with sessions and programs all available side by side.
This is the first of two sessions Birdland recorded for the Peel program and captures the band at the peak of their powers. I remember seeing their blond moptops on the cover of NME around this time and thinking they just LOOK like their going to make a great noise, and of course they did. Their self-titled debut album was released the following year and think I've got a very attractive white vinyl copy somewhere in the collection. I do remember being somewhat dissapointed by the album because it sounded a bit over produced and polished taking away alot of the spirit of the band which undoubtedly comes shining through in this session.
