A friend's father was an engineer at the Beeb and he went to see them record one or other of those sessions.
I believe a great strength was that nobody had any idea what they COULD do to those tapes so nothing was done and that has definitely been the best result.
Later on John Peel started recording bands because he was only allowed a certain percentage of needle time. If you search for Peel Sessions and look at the Keeping It Peel site at the BBC then you will see possibly the world's richest resource of music over the past 40 years. It truly is amazing how that guy kept moving forward.
Here is where its at...http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/
We have just had the second annual John Peel Day. Perhaps something happened near you.
I absolutely believe Peel is THE keystone of music in Britain since the mid-60s. The single most important figure. Bar none.

BTW. the bootleg of Prefab on his show is a rel treasure, hard to find, worth it.
no doubt. Mojo did a fine piece on him after he passed....
I arrived in London a day or two after he died and hadn't heard, and all over the place shops had put tributes spontaneously in their windows and we went to both an African show (King Sunny Ade) and some Arabic folk and hip-hop and a classical concert and he was remembered at all of them.
I met him a couple of times and he was almost embarrassed to be continually recognised when he really did see himself as a fan.
having spent a bit of time with the red and blue and the live at the BEEB and the anthologies over the last 2 days I have to say that...:Close your eyes and I'll kiss you...." Is one of the finest opening lines in all of Popdom.
BTW, I still play that Triffids CD at least once a week. It is like a wart!! Just grows on ya....
Should have made them a big name, but somehow got ignored, which to my mind is criminal.
The start of the that album, to me, stands against anything recorded, in fact pretty much all of it, but the first two tracks, Stolen Property, oh hell, I just love it.
You should here The Black Swan which was their last Studio album. Its not all perfect but at least half is just great, and that's being very picky. The 2 tracks the Susans covered and New Years Kiss are fab! In fact the latter could be as good as anything they ever did.
Maybe Australia Volume 2 should roll off the machines soon.
I could tell you about Hunters And Collectors... N'ah I won't!
... skip Chicken Killer?
If you're not careful I'll post a review of The Black Eyed Susans "Dedicated To The Ones We Love", a rather nice album of covers, a couple of Sinatras, a couple of Elvis, a couple McCombs...
That's about the time of All Souls Alive, McComb on the right.
Thank you very much!!
