I still have my Chameleons tapes. I'll be 50 in 2025. When I die I want Second Skin to be played at my funeral.

I used to have a cassette tape that I recorded off the radio of this chameleons broadcast session.

The Peel Sessions are part of musical history and human cultural heritage. Thank for sharing with us. Cheers from Canada.

Plus an uninterrupted Altered Images session. What a night!

You need to find a friend and introduce them to The Chameleons. Play them a few songs and tell them they are a new artist and the album came out last month!

Takes me back to a different time of my life.

Perfume Garden and Second Skin drive me tears. Good stuff!

The Chameleons are absolute perfection here ❤

Very Interpol here... yes I know these came before them!

[@nobman]

Had this on cassette for years but alongside all my others it went west some time back. Great to hear it again.

I saw these guys around 2000 at The Troubadour in Los Angeles and it was a powerful show. Great stuff!

Sad that these guys hate each other’s guts now.. First heard ‘em in ‘85.

[@badmen1550]

Mark and Reg are at least friendly enough that they're touring together now.

[@GriefTourist]

Seems every great band you can think of is riddled with feuds. Shit bands probably adore each other.

[@Meless]

👌👌

[@TH3_FURY]

In my best bands top 50 since 40 years.... Sublime, melodic, cold, epic and unique ! Do you have "The Pollen" peel session Or "Throwing Muses" or "Orchestre Rouge" ?? ;) Thanks for your super post !

[@Vibracobra23_Original]

None of those bands ever recorded a session for Peel

[@TH3_FURY]

@@Vibracobra23_Original It's a shame :) Thanks for the info ;)

[@rockinblue978]

Had tickets to see them at The Empire Shepherds Bush but covid scuppered the gig

[@dr.aisaitl7439]
