LOW - Two and a half Peel Sessions +3 from ATP

 

There isn't a great deal of early unreleased music by Duluth band, Low in circulation currently. 

I recently came across a few old CDr's with some of my recordings from around 20 years ago. They included a complete session for the BBC Radio One John Peel Show and half of their final 6-track session. 

I did have the complete session at one time and thought it was lost for good. Until I read an article that said it was possible to recover recordings accidentally erased from minidisc. I might be able to recover some of those recordings - a task I will leave for the winter months. 

The second Peel session is available on a superb FM recording that was originally shared some years ago on the Dime torrent site and no longer available there.

I have included it with my one and a half Peel sessions and added the 3 tracks from the ATP appearance in 2002, that was also included on my CDr. I haven't seen lossless versions of the other three sessions in circulation, so this is the best available currently. If you are unfamiliar with the band I can recommend the three albums that appeared around the time of these sessions:

Things We Lost In The Fire (2001)

Trust (2002)

The Great Destroyer (2005)
