About

Echo & The Bunnymen released The John Peel Sessions 1979-1983 on September 6. The double album features 21 tracks recorded for legendary DJ John Peel’s Radio 1 show during the early years of the band’s existence. Says The Bunnymen’s Will Sergeant: “Without John Peel sessions, Echo And The Bunnymen in my opinion, would not exist! It’s that simple. The band got so much support from him and John Walters (Peel’s producer). Recording a Peel session was essential to the development of our songwriting skills while at the same time giving us amazing exposure and self-belief.”.
