Maida Vale Sessions

Released

Is this the best Broadcast album? Three Peel sessions and one Evening Session, all done for the BBC, give us the hits and show us that the band’s sound came right out of the Korgs and Fenders and Trish’s head. They didn’t need the studio trickery to transport us immediately to their laudanum salon on the other side of the moon.
