A collection of three studio sessions for John Peel's BBC radio show.

Session 1 (track A1 - A4) took place on September 4, 1983.
Session 2 (track A5 - B8) was recorded on November 24, 1985.
Session 3 (track B9 - B12) dates from November 30, 1986.

Except for track B8 (which was never released before), all songs appear in different musical settings (while recorded elsewhere in time and place)on various other (formerly vinylised) Ex-products.
A version of track 1 appeared on The Red Dance Package, a split 12 with Alerta (CNT Productions, CNT 017, September '83), and there is also a live version on Support The Miners' Strike, a split live-benefit album with Zowisoand Morzelpronk+Nico (Records Against Thaatchism, RAT 001, February '85).
Versions of track 2, 3 & 4 can be found on Blueprints For A Blackout, a double album on Pig Brother Productions (EX 018/019, March '84).
A recording of track 5 appeared on two compilations, i.e. Hits And Corruption (Hits$Corruption, HAC1, March '86) and the double album Emma (M.A. Draje Records, 001tm4, May '86).
A live version of track 9 can be heard on The First After Epiphany, the Ron Johnson compilation (Zron 21, May '86).
And then there are different versions of track no. 5, 6 (with entirely different music), 7, 9, 10, 11 & 12 on the double album Too Many Cowboys (Ex Records, EX 031/032 June '87).
