The Housemartins - Live @ the BBC

The Housemartins were regular visitors to the BBC's Maida Vale studios, recording 7 sessions as well as having their Glastonbury and Nottingham concerts broadcast, containing most of the material recorded for the BBC from the beginning, up until the end of the band's brief but brilliant career. While most of the tracks included are session versions recorded for various BBC radio shows, the disc also features a number of cuts from the band's performances in Nottingham and at the 1986 Glastonbury festival as broadcast on the BBC.
