> I'm very excited about the latest batch of Killing Joke remastered CD's

> which are due follow in early 2008 - Firedances comes with extra tracks

> including their fifth John Peel session (Dominator, Frenzy, Wilful Days,

> Harlequin), Night Time includes the infamous Kid Jensen session from 1984

> (All Play Rebel, Blue Feather, Eighties, New Culture) - this provides a

> missing link for KJ fanatics as 1985's Night Time included in Eighties a

> track that was debuted in late 1983 on CH4's

> weekly show "The Tube". Up to now, the only version of All Play Rebel and

> Blue Feather in circulation were recorded off radio on AM, because at the

> time BBC Radio 1 was only broadcast in AM until 21:00 hrs, at which point it

> was also available on FM and therefore with the Kid Jensen show on from

> 20:00 to 22:00, Eighties and New Culture were recorded on the FM band.

> Unlike with John Peel, Kid Jensen did tend to talk over intros and fades, so

> the exciting prospect of getting hold of decent versions of these rare

> tracks after some 23 odd years cannot be understated. Though the Brighter

> Than A Thousand Suns (1986) remaster only has 3 extra tracks from the

> original CD release, these are the restored mixes which we all hope are

> rougher and more reflective of the bands live sound (I must have another

> listen to the version of Rubicon on the For Beginners CD to verify this).

> Again, Outside The Gate (1988) has a few alternate versions of songs plus

> the previously unreleased May Day. By putting the 1983 and 1984 BBC sessions

> on these remasters, I suspect Killing Joke may now bring out a 17 track BBC

> Radio Sessions 1979-1981 which would include the first 4 John Peel sessions

> (1979 - Pssyche, Wardance, Nuclear Boy, Malicious Boogie : 1980 -

> Complications, Change, Tomorrow's World : 1981#1 Butcher, Tension, The Fall

> Of Because : 1981#2 We Have Joy, The Hum, Chop Chop, Empire Song) plus the

> sole Richard Skinner session (1981 - Unspeakable, Exit, Tension). Bring it

> on chaps.
