Beggars Banquet
Released 11 June 2024

The Beggars Arkive BBC sessions is a UK-based limited edition subscription series featuring ten sessions recorded for John Peel. As promised, a selection of the sessions will be available individually in very limited numbers to North American customers, and so far these have included The Fall and Stereolab.

Today, we are happy to announce the U.S. black vinyl version of the 1982 BBC Radio Session from Bauhaus which is available from our webstore and bandcamp now.

Bauhaus (Daniel Ash, Peter Murphy, David J, and Kevin Haskins) were renowned for their gloomy sound and dark image. John Peel first saw Bauhaus perform in their hometown of Harpole, Northampton, at a John Peel Roadshow event in June 1979. During their early years, Peel frequently played many of their songs. They recorded this Peel session at Maida Vale on March 13, 1982.
