Peel Slowly and see...part 2



A mixed bag of stuff today, from eMusic, the record collection AND wondeful readers.

This was from 1992, the year when the Weddoes made twelve chart appearances in the UK. (That's the official Top 40, not just the Festive Fifty)

Wedding Present -'Sticky.' mp3 (1992 Festive Fifty no.41)

As I continue with my massive task of collecting all the Festive Fifty stuff, I inevitably come across those bands I'd heard of but not heard. Until now...

Transglobal Underground -'Sirius B.' mp3 (1993 Festive Fifty no.49)

Transglobal Underground -'Taal Zaman.' mp3 (1994 Festive Fifty no.50)

yesterday I asked if anyone had it...within a very short space of time two readers pointed me in the direction of this track. Thank you!

Pavement -'Circa 1762 (Peel session).' mp3 (1992 Festive Fifty no.42)

And from one of the debut LPs of the decade (Slanted and Enchanted), a band like many other people I first heard courtesy of John Peel:

Pavement -'Here.' mp3 (1992 Festive Fifty no.10)

There is more coming. Much more. Watch this space. Tell your friends etc..

Transglobal Underground were formed from the ashes of the much missed Furniture (remember Brilliant Mind). Certainly a change of direction!
Thanks for the great blog and belated happy birthday

You're welcome, and thank you. Remember furniture (vaguely!) but hadn't realised that they were connected with Transglobal Undergorund.
