Heartland

Don't think anyone else has raised this yet, so...

Monday 28th January:
Tonight Gideon will be playing sessions by The Sisters of Mercy, Bonnie Prince Billy and El Perro Del Mar with concert tracks from PJ Harvey, Tom Robinson and Gene.

Okay, so its highly unlikely to be previously underheard tracks, but will still be nice to hear em on the radio! Gideon mentioned a few weeks back he'd play some, probably the Jensen session I think.

Is this digital radio? Cause IIRC we only have the two Peel sessions in digital format, no?

BBC 6: yes this is digital radio. I've recorded it - only listened to the start so far - he played Heartland but talked over the outro; said he was only going to play another Sisters track, not sure which one yet.

I'm always staggered by the clarity of the digital broadcasts as compared with the old Psyche Session bootleg.

I thought digital broadcasts used fairly low bitrates.
They'll probably sound clearer, but..

they do if you listen to them via the next after the event, but through live digital radio it sounds excellent.

BTW second track they played was Jolene.

As far as I know they have never played Walk Away from the Peel '84 session, plus Burn and Valentine from Jenson '83 on digital. Is this true? If not, perhaps someone would like to weed or upload all the sessions in digital quality? (until of course the band, the beeb and strange fruit get it together and release the official Sisters BBC Radio Sessions cd! I'd happily pay £15 for an official album with all the sessions clean and complete).
