plaid Plaid peel session

this is probably old news, but i've only just come across them......

four tracks a mate sent me, sounding very Plaid-esque with John Peel introducing them, so presumably it's an unreleased peel session. but there's bugger all mention of them anywhere.

Housework

Kiterider

Zelide

Lazybeams

I'd heard about these tracks for ages, but only got to actually hear them recently. 'Housework' is fucking ace and has already become one of my Plaid top tunes. Is there anybody anywhere who has an idea of the TX date? Presumably not, as even the BBC themselves don't seem to know.

Ezkerraldean, you've probably heard it, but the session from 2003 is shit-hot as well.

I'm miles behind the rest of the world hearing these Peel Sessions, and I've been sorely missing out. They're excellent.

why doesn't warp release this?

send me the tracks and i'll up them onto watmm

kite rider is one of their best tracks. elidi was played out live alot, you can get plenty of live versions.

Wikipedia has the date for this session (Lazy Beams, Kite Rider etc) as 20th June 1998.

This is wrong, because this peel session was after the release of Rest Proof Clockwork. I have the original recording on cassette tape with a note that says "August 1999".

this was the first plaid i ever heard.
