original seeder's notes:
--
This is a pretty rare find. I was only able to come across unknown gen copies
of the NoMeansNo Peel Sessions (after much searching!).
I give them to you as they are. I am hoping this will liberate a lower gen copy.
The quality is pretty good, I'd say B+.
A couple of glitches, but nothing too drastic.

NoMeansNo have only done 2 Peels, and they are both here.
The first one has the only known "live" recording of Mama's Little Boy too.

Enjoy, but please:

RE-UPLOAD: Head of David - Peel Sessions - 1986-1989 (MP3)

Head of David is one of those unique bands whose sound is difficult to catalogue, usually described as an industrial rock / stoner band. These are all the Peel session they recorded and you can really hear the band maturing until their third session, composed solely from songs from their "Dustbowl"album, where the band reached it's creative peak. Every record they've released is (sadly) very difficult to find, but when you hear them, you can't help recognise that they were at least a decade ahead of their time.
