This is a wonderful session with a perfect Monochrome set performance (in need of more coverage please) and equally wonderful commentary from the wonderful Mr John Peel.
Pic above (L-R): Lester Square (guitar), Bid (vocals/rhythm guitar), Andy Warren (bass), J.D. Haney (drums). They really were something special with those first two albums.

Good stuff
OUTSTANDING! With a band name like that I had for years expected them to sound down-beat and dour. Best thing I've heard in ages.
Check out the LP "Strange Boutique" (1980)
@@dermot51 i prefer love zombies, the albums these tracks were from, but their debut is also quite good.

Ha ha brilliant. I remember listening to John Peel under the covers with a simple little transistor radio
thanks for re uploading
One rather cares for that i must say! Peel must be the only DJ whose comments add to a session
Ive always thought that too
Lester Square, Tom Hardy, most overlooked guitarist of the post punk era
agreed
Noone writes lyrics like Bid.
Really? I've never noticed a similarity between Herman's Hermits and The Monochrome Set. Wow!
Wow, that intro... :-(
+Todd Edelman Yup. Putting in the perspective of the day...he was just a kid really, and the loss of his parents, wife, child. Tragic.
Pentangle?
When are tiktok ever going to stop advertising on here!?!!!?
Puts ridiculous rubbish to shame!
