I would never resent such a perfect Present.

"I'm a huge fan of Peel Sessions. I have copies of Peel Sessions from everyone from The Smiths to Sonic Youth to The Field Mice to Motorcycle Boy. When I heard The Wedding Present was releasing their complete Peel Sessions recordings, I became ecstatic. Not only is some band putting out a comprehensive collection of their Peel Sessions, but it's a band I really like and already have one session of with the great John Peel, celebrating his 50th birthday on August 29, 1989.
This boxset is everything I expected from it. Great recordings that document an extensive history of a legendary band. Spanning over 95 tracks and 12 complete sessions, this is a must have for any fan of The Wedding Present and a perfect starting point for someone stumbling across this while searching for John Peel. Author Ken Garner provides great liner notes that will keep you entertained.
I only wish more bands would release their complete Peel Sessions much like The Wedding Present has."
