Brilliant session from a great band Remastered vinyl releases are totally wonderful RIP Mary Hansen Still much missed

[@O___00]

Mary wasn't in the band yet.. not until 92. Other vocalist here was Gina Morris.

[@jimdrude]

I remember hearing this live in my Edinburgh student flat. PJ Harvey's first session was around the same time and, for me, those were the most mind-blowingly wonderful Peel sessions ever. I could barely contain myself. I don’t think I could afford socks back then but if I was wearing any they would have been blown clean off!

@@alainclement9244 Thanks, I thought Lou Reed was a junkie too, maybe I just jumped to that conclusion myself. Every day is a learning day.

And if they wrote much better songs.

You got to it before I could comment on how I thought Nico had a good band here.

Today I'm discovering Stereolab the best way possible.

Sublime. Superb. Words don't describe how much I love this band.

[@thewalldeco2468]

Difficult fourth tittle must be the best song on all peel sessions.

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Reminds me of Nico and the Velvets.

Always loved this version of 'Super Electric'. Very Neu influenced, almost motorik beat.

Thanks man. Great upload. What a band! Timeless, brilliant.

[@NickRowsell]

Great band … they can really rock hard when they want … this is the best Peel sessions they did …

[@jonreed3506]

What a band! I knew they were good but have spent all day listening to their older stuff and my mind is blown. 20 years ahead of their time.

[@BorlandRIP8]

RIP Mary Hansen

[@zenbuddah420]

who is that?

[@Jabberwoc]

@@zenbuddah420😞 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Hansen#Death 😞

[@greg9404]

Isn't that Gina Morris? Don't think Mary joined until 1992.

[@juju5568]

Heard of their ping pong track, from a free CD with a music magazine (1995?) Are they from France? Have they ever toured in the UK? I really like their sound and very different from any other indie - bands. 👍

[@deadbeatdynamo]

The woman in the photo is Gina Morris, right? I don't think Laetitia ever had bangs, at least not around that time.

[@neilwhitaker6284]

that makes sense it doesn't look like Laetitia but I assumed it was. I think you are correct.

[@catorcepunkclub]

"Doubt" me vuelve loco !

[@seapea7402]

I cherish the Too Pure 10 inch of this seminal session to this day. Simply brilliant

I have the same release! First record by them I bought.

[@MrCookaa]

Another gem, thanks Vibracobra

[@progranma2864]

Hallo. Do you know Van Der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill? Anothers artists not enough popular nowadays, even if they have success in 70s :'(

One wonders if the three people who have turned their thumbs down to this, haven't already had their ears removed.

[@emersontomasini9495]

Can you put a Peel Session of the amazing bands Superchunk and Beat Happening for we listen, my friend Vibracobra? 🙂🤔

[@Vibracobra23_Original]

Both of the Superchunk sessions are already on my main channel. Beat Happening never recorded a Peel Session.

[@shaxan]

@@Vibracobra23_Original So invent it! ) What about Wauvenfold's session?

Dit dat I am do doing ditto lightning to THUNDER and diamonds are also goth at DJ Zac Zac UK fans flag up against trout raydeeo RABB on ye ya stereo in my MY mind and mind and mind I don't bovers like the earth to slavery.....laboratory.

[@dgetzin]

At 4:49 they sound SO much like early 10,000 Maniacs. You can hear the 80s turning into the 90s. Latettia’s intonation was often very unsteady live, but she is dead on here in the middle of a set in one of Tim’s melody lines that demands a maximum of precision. Tim goes 3/4 of the way to becoming sonic youth here on that strumming crescendo, but his superior discipline launches this to NEU! levels.

[@ihrstinkt100]

fav Band of all time

[@BlakeBlackstone]

If you guys like this band then you might like the band "Splendora".

[@Mygrayne]

Ironically enough I heard of splendora YEARS before i heard of stereolab. I guess it's just because I was (still kinda am) a big Daria fan, and they mention the band In the credits.

[@Pre_industrial]

Big Daria fan here too

[@sooperheep]

whos that in the pic? It aint Mary or Letitia

[@neilwhitaker6284]

Gina Morris I think. Their first backing vocalist before Mary Hansen joined.

[@donalddemille5910]

Love it !
