ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN – Best Of The BBC Sessions 1979 – 1997 – LP – Vinyl

Description

LP – Black Vinyl Housed In Picture Card Outer And Plain White Die Cut Inner Sleeve

Another BBC Sessions edition compiles nearly two decades of live-in-studio performances from Echo & The Bunnymen, tracing the Liverpool legends’ rise from wiry post-punk outsiders to accomplished songwriters. John Peel and Janice Long oversaw the sessions with eagle’s eyes, as production polish from classics such as ‘The Killing Moon‘, ‘Rescue‘ and ‘Lips Like Sugar‘ reveal the band’s skeletal brilliance and moody immediacy. Something of a guide to the band’s career arc as a whole, we hear the way paved for a more expansive, melancholic texture in the later years, despite an ever morphotic, modulable lineup.

The Cult Legends reissue set offers longtime fans and newer listeners a chance to hear the Bunnymen with studio intimacy and live spontaneity; less theatrical than their stage shows, but just as haunting.
