The Peel Sessions is an EP by Band of Susans, recorded in 1988 and 1989 from sessions with John Peel but not released until 1992.

Contents

The first four tracks feature the same line-up as Love Agenda (with the latterly relatively famous Page Hamilton as one of the guitarists) but the latter two feature a line-up that never recorded any other material.

"Child of the Moon" (a Rolling Stones cover) and "Which Dream Came True" had been on Love Agenda whilst "Throne of Blood" and "Hope Against Hope" were on the debut. The other tracks Two of these are covers of Wire's "Too Late" and Gang of Four's "I Found That Essence Rare" and were never on any Band of Susans album released on Blast First or Restless Records.
