Is it? I thought Peel Sessions were live studio recordings, mostly, with the occasional overdub. I reckon it's Debbie on this recording, unless you know otherwise. I know Kevin played pretty much everything on Loveless. @UFO_computers
I was lucky enough to catch them in Long Beach, Ca. at this tiny club in 1989. They were just making the transition from "Strawberry Wine" to "Feed Me with Your Kiss" so - the PERFECT set that night.
People give way to much credit to studio trickery when they talk about the sound of MBV. It has at least as much to do with playing technique and creative use of tone as anything else. Loveless used some sampling and MIDI drums, but even with that album everything could be replicated live. According to Shields, reversed reverb was responsible for a lot of what people perceived as tons of layers of guitar, and that was achieved with a rack unit that could be used live.
Yeah when I saw them on the loveless tour in SF I was blown away by how close it sounded to the record. I thought it was all studio trickery. Boy was I wrong. It was so efing loud too. But I had to get it all in me. It seriously felt like my cells were rocked!

Thanks for posting this. I heard this when aired and it stood out made me listen and turned my musical taste inside out and on its head. Saw them live on the rollercoaster tour at Brixton with the Mary chain absolute bliss wallowing in their wall of sound
This is so awesome! Hey have you guys heard that guy that does acoustic versions of MBV? He’s a fricken genius! It’s super cool! 🌊🏄♂️🪷 Ps Bilinda sounds so good in this recording! I absolutely love her voice =]
I wonder where this is sourced from? It's never been released officially but this doesn't sound like an off-air recording? I guess we can expect to see an official release of this session sometime around 2030 at the usual rate of MBV activity.
@@amdersonrambao9282 they're just joking about how MBV takes forever to make music, and a small session, such as a Peel session (which is like a radio session) should've taken months.
Good session! But it’s a shame Kevin keeps brushing the early mini lp’s and ep’s under the carpet as they desperately need reissuing! There’s only so many times you can reissue and remaster the creation stuff before it becomes boring and “done!”
I really wish there would be a reissue of all their old stuff, from when they first started recording with that other singer - I forget his name, maybe it was David Conway - and the early Bilinda EP's like Strawberry Wine and Ecstasy. The evolution of their sound is so interesting and some of my favourite songs of theirs are from the earlier period that goes so ignored. Never Say Goodbye for example, such a beautiful song. I wonder who owns the rights of their early discography and if there's some issues with that, or if they just don't want to acknowledge that material anymore... 😶
He turned out to be a horrible, corrupt individual, like most (all?) of BBC radio 1 DJs of the era. See DJ Mark Devlin’s “Musical Truths” books. I own all of them.
That's exactly how this sounded in 1988. Well said. I was 16 back then, and the first time I heard Isn't Anything I thought the aliens had landed, and boy I wanted to go wherever they came from.
I love how Kevin is clutching himself in this picture
Wadda ya mean..🤔
its the david vye, love that eustacia line
My birthday! Listen to this every year. Today I turn 18!
i'm too late. but anyway, congrats!
Happy 20th!! Keep listening to the best band on earth.
4 days early but happy 21st!
HBD!!!😂
happy recent 22nd b day!

Enjoy it, brother. As much as you can. Life can be so brutal, and that moment surely will be in your memory as an amazing thing, 'what a time!'
@@eversongabriel7099 I did and every word is true my prescient friend and now... it's 36yrs later. Enjoy the trip!
@@YANHAP1 oh, I see. You did great, then. Stay good, friend. God bless.

It’s Kevin

@UFO_computers
best version of "I Can't Feel It (But I Can See It)"
Yep, best I've heard. It's magical.
Man I would love to have this on CD.
It all sounds great, but When You Wake hits different on this. So good.
Fantastic session. I saw them touring the first album,so I guess they played most songs from the album and You Make me Realise EP.
The sound track to doing the things I shouldnt be doing
This was recorded on the day I was born :)
Love this recording, superrr quality
wouldve been ppppppperfect if they also played no more sorry
Thank you
Danke!
Thank you, brother! I would've liked if they have played Cupid Come!
Thank you. 🙂

saw the same year/show at the Lingerie in Hollywood... with eleven other people. it was unreal.
@@tbwatch88 I was at both shows - Bogart's and Lingerie
holy shit
First time seeing them was in McGonagles, Dublin, Ireland, Wednesday 25th April, 1990
saw them at Coachella
it is amazing how much love these sounds can produce in my body.
4:20 is such a beautiful part with the guitars.

correct
It really comes down to just incredible songwriting and they don't get enough credit for that.
Shields said it best, they just played what they loved.

it is unreal to me that this their live sound. whatta band.
I saw them live lots of times around this period, and this pretty much is how they sounded live...only...louder!

Omg i love the Peel Sessions - MBV, The Smiths, Joy Division. So many more great bands!
John Peel really was quite something
And the Cocteau twins
@@ok2760If you’ve not yet encountered Mark Devlin’s “Musical Truths”, you will find out just what kind of something he was.
Awesome! Each instrument is in the zone!
This is just astonishing, especially I Can See It, what a version..
check out swirlies - blondertongue audiobaton lp. that is all.
The EPs into and including Isn't Anything represented the height of this band's prowess in my opinion
Totally agree!
nobody cares, just enjoy the session

I was at that gig, too. Both MBV and Dinosaur Jr were amazing. I even quite enjoyed Blur.
Oh My God you lucky SOB -MBV and JMC are basically my two fav bands. Nice work!!
Yeah was at the Cardiff gig of that tour with Mary Chain headlining - they took it in turns headlining I believe
Colm is a motherfucking machine!
Wish isn't anything sounded more like these mixes tbh
>Implying Isn't Anything is not perfect enough
@@pixussb7524 i do think the mix leaves a little to be desired
this makes me feel something so profound deeply within this human shell i occupy thanlk you for uploading this for all of us to enjoy and experience.
Great.
as good as it gets
Amazing!!!
This song always got me juices flowin when I was a youngster, long live MBV
Me alegra mucho mi corazón ❤️
My Bloody Valentine 🍉
This is so awesome! Hey have you guys heard that guy that does acoustic versions of MBV? He’s a fricken genius! It’s super cool! 🌊🏄♂️🪷
Ps Bilinda sounds so good in this recording! I absolutely love her voice =]
Me recuerdo de esos tiempos de libertad y reveldia
Me encanta ❤
Increíble
This is great.
Last track has a feel of Loop about it

Nice handle LOL
The reverb makes everything sound better, the drums on i can't feel it are better than the studio version
Seriously top drawer session altogether!!
John Peele is a fucking legend, this sounds so good. I imagine Kevin had a hand in it but still, absolutely stellar.
A MBV radio session like this would take the band at least 5 months to finish these days. :-)
Great band, though. And thanks for posting!
MBV : rádio senssion ?
@@amdersonrambao9282 they're just joking about how MBV takes forever to make music, and a small session, such as a Peel session (which is like a radio session) should've taken months.
Thank you kurt Cobain somehow i guess. You made me discover so many rock bands and ultimately i find MBV
@EndofMusic hell yeah !
Same for me. Nirvana led me to Sonic Youth which then led me to My Bloody Valentine. Sonic Youth was the link between the two.
how the hell did you find mbv through kurt
@@andrewoid4711 only way i could see is by also discovering sonic youth which is how i discovered many other bands
@@andrewoid4711I think they’re saying they found them through the rock bands that nirvana introduced them to
Fantastic!

It would be good to include Peel's comments either side of the tracks on these sessions and an idea of the source too
agreed

See DJ Mark Devlin’s “Musical Truths” books. I own all of them.
Magical memories
Feed Me With Your Kiss pounds so fucking hard!
Only if Isn't anything sounded just as good as this...
Eu ainda não estou : Morto porque sei que ainda estou ouvindo o som do : My Bloody Valentine.
✨
why cant there be a video of this performance!?
懐かしい
Belinda is so eye catching
A pitty she passed away
Iroquios Well Wikipedia says she’s currently 56 and only features her date of birth, unusual for a person who has died.
she isnt alive because shes an angel!
Iroquios well fair enough, the whole ‘she is on another plane, it is we who are dead running with strange creatures’ line. I avow it
Bilinda.
This one!
Debi y colm los más boni obi 🧑🤝🧑✨🎉👞🤡💕🎈🥳🥣🌷
Googe bass pressure
Why can't they at least put the commercials between songs?
Unfortunately, I have no control where they put commercials....
@@FruitierThanThou I know its not you.
Feed me with your kiss sounds so much better here than it does on the record
the very end of the session b like "WEEEEEOOOOOooooWAH"
this is the 2150's in the 80's
That's exactly how this sounded in 1988. Well said. I was 16 back then, and the first time I heard Isn't Anything I thought the aliens had landed, and boy I wanted to go wherever they came from.
Was this done before or after they recorded Isn’t Anything?
this was 2 months before Isn't Anything was released. would of thought it was recorded a little before that though.
andrew tiltscher your poor eardrums haha
I’m joking, bring on the volume
recorded after, released before
Prefer the guitar sound on 'feed me' on this version than on the LP
