It is just a touch more mad than the version of “Another Music” on this, isn’t it. That’s still my favorite ‘Cocks” l.p., but you are spot on about this version. It’s the fret slides on the bass as the “1-2-3-4”in the beginning, I think😅 If you were in an great, but struggling outfit, between the years of circa 1968-2003, and were phoned (or Emailed) by John, most likely, you quit school, probably quit your job at the “Photo Mat” or “Movie Express” rounded up the band, and booked some travel time, from the Tubes, National Rail, or Motorway, to Greyhound busses and vans on highways, to cabs and flights, to get to BBC-1 🤣 Once was a time when I had the original pressing of this E.P., it had the metallic flake finish on the iconic “John Peel” pattern as well…… 😞 fortunately for me, the thieve(s) who boosted my small, but beautiful record collection, got off with a “fair to poor” condition” copy, at best, it was the n heavy rotation all throughout the 1980’s and early’90’s so it was “used to the handle” as they say…..the jacket was worth more than the actual wax! 🤣 That was the brilliance of John, and any “Peel Sessions”, if your band made that cut, your band had something.
Ahhhhhh! How brilliant to hear this again, 10-12 = the sacred time (killed me trying to get up for school though!). Quality punk, then in the middle of it a 12 min reggae dub track or Ivor Cutler. So good and diverse. Nobody comes near John Peel. Great quality too! My TDK tapes never sounded like this
More like? One of the Greatest Punk Rock Bands Ever! Straight Out from The Manchester London Punk Rock Scene! Larz! I have all of the Buzzcocks Peel Sessions on Original Vinyl Records.Including every Original Vinyl Record they ever released in The U.K!! & The U.S!! Before they unfortunately broke up in 1980 after the release of Parts#1#2#3 Vinyl Record.Times Up was the very first Buzzcocks Album & Record I purchased back in 1976 with Howard Devoto as the Lead Singer before he left the Band & formed Magazine & Pete Shelley took over as the Lead Singer for The Buzzcocks.After Times Up? The Buzzcocks released their very first truly independent Punk Rock Record called The Spiral Scratch E.P.(45 Inch Single) & Now available on a 12 Inch Single on The New Hormones Independent Record Label!! @ the same time The Sex Pistols released their very first Punk Rock 45 Inch Single Anarchy In The U.K./God Save The Queen & The Damned released their very first Punk Rock 45 Inch Single New Rose/Neat Neat Neat!!
Buzzcocks - Peel Session 1977 i notice the woolies they're stood outside of also has that mosaic facade they had featured on lennons of rochdale, top of yorshire street. the woolies mosaic being drab beige the lennons of rochdale once being blue mosaic tiles...
Thanks for uploading. The picture is totally priceless. I love the lady in the check coat doing a great Johnnie Rotten Impersonation (facial and dress sense.)
WOW This is fantastci especially Fast Cars better here than the LP version. Petes voice sounds great on What do I get, fantastic. Great photo of Buzzcocks outside Woolworths with a couple of groupies.
Someone mentioned the excellent sound quality & they were right of course. Only problem being, those 12" vinyl records were edited & lost the late great John Peel's monotone introductions, as heard on the original radio broadcasts.
I need to do a bit of research regarding the exact date of this, or as close as I can get, so I can work out whether it was Steve Garvey or Garth Whatsisname on bass. And why does everyone always refer to him by his first name only? Is it because, like me, they can never remember his surname? Great recording, by the way.
The bass sounds like the early Buzzcock's bass sound (with Howard Devoto singing), I agree it sounds much better than the album sound, but then again all the Peel session's do
@@startervisions Those hooks tho. You gotta give Ramones mad props for that first album alnone- those crazy catchy chord changes. The next few albums weren't too shabby either.
U think th Buzzcocks were new wave before knew wave new what new wave was. I know they were classed as punk but their image and lyrics seemed more refined. Sad about Pete dying at 63. Did he part hard or smoke I wonder.
Buzzcocks - Peel Session 1977 1210AM 21.2.23 then you ask: you sure devoto was in the buzzcocks? erm.. couldn't give a fig, mate... that said - i do stress that caring about other things is a possibility. if it's 1977 then Devoto was still knocking about. maybe he fucked off after someone let slip a generic eff off in his direction... or perhaps he couldn't wait to get out of there? in mine own experience the latter would be the case. fuck this for a game of soldiers type affair.... was Devoto edited out? shame as the e.p - the band's initial offering is the acme of power pop (originally a sarcastic stab at vile notions of being a pop star which has come to mean a genre of post punk init's own right)... and the original e.p has more to it than any buzzcocks' album... another man's kitchenette for want of a better term is decent enough album but... anyhow; i shall leave it at that as i am merely waxing about stuff already read. p.s glad i have something to impart as i think my initial question was to be - where was this woolies they stood outside of situated? only asking as i cannot for the life of me think where Manchester's woolies once stood. i know where rochdale woolies was... but... anyhow...
The bass especially sounds great in this.
That was Garth too not Steve Garvey
@@beechclanger played with a metal plectrum
One of the many things I love about the Buzzcocks is John Maher's drumming.
Le Diabolique so exciting
A powerhouse trying to be heard in the early days with limited PA's etc.
He had that Off-beat "beat" that he threw in, I could never work it out.
@@BackwardTelevision His signature fill includes closing the hi-hat as part of a triplet. I think.

Love the photo. "Such nice boys!"
PETE SHELLEY..is in hearts allways!
Pete Shelley's anorak and slacks were as far from King's Road Mohicans and bondage trousers as it gets, and much more punk. RIP fella.
yep! 😁
Provincial punks
You rarely see a Buzzcocks pic with the original girl singers Deirdre and Edwina - thanks for that!
I taped this off of the radio when first broadcast.
Probably their best version of What Do I Get.

This version of Fast Cars is my favourite punk song ever!!

John Maher....outstanding drumming!
ed cruwys a major inspiration to me!
He's the Charles Dickens of drumming. So dense.
@@mooongluum6628 lol weird flex
I feel so sentimental right now. A band with attitude. I like that.
16 yo, Alexandra Park Manchester '78. First live gig, Buzzcocks, Steel Pulse on the bill.
Awesome day - still my fave band. Love it!!
eddh7162 gay
What a huge tone on bass!
Fantastic punk rock.
I could listen to Pulse Beat all night.
Anything that was recorded in the studios for Peel's show is a lesson in music. They are very fresh and often even better than albums.
best sound have heard of Buzzcocks,bass heavy,gets ya in the guts where it always should.
That bass tone smoked all my weed!
Thank you for uploading.
amazing photo idea, i love it
RIP John, can’t say how much I miss you,
R.I.P Pete shelley you will forever in your music .
ThankYou Vibracobra23! R.I.P. Pete, ThankYou & The Band for Creating all the GREAT Peerless songs & Sharing of the Emotions!
Beautiful!
The best of the lot. Along with the DAMNED.
Thanks to the English brothers from Argentina for their music
Gracias a los hermanos ingleses desde Argentina por su Musica
Those late 70's hits are still the best stuff they ever did. Rules. Nice Peel stuff here.
Brilliantly recorded
So bloody good! I love it!!!!
this is classic anologue...i love it!
Brings back lots of good memories. Great pop band!
Thanks for uploading. The picture is totally priceless. I love the lady in the check coat doing a great Johnnie Rotten Impersonation (facial and dress sense.)

Superb .Thanx.
First time I heard them was at The Commercial in Stalybridge.
I have the album on vinyl and cd , must have another listen.
RIP Pete Shelley
Still highly listenable without the shadow of a cringe!
buzzcocks xxxx
Great bass playing
R.I.P Peter. x
Im going to be eaten by that bass guitar
joey Leverton: What a way to go, tho'!
Or Sawed to pieces very similar to SLF 👌
lo mejor buzzcocks!
Moving Away from the Pulsebeat!.-what a Cocky beginning to their illustrious career.

That is the most punk band photo ever.

Rest in Punk, Pete Shelley.
Sounds like Garth on bass to me. Steve Garvey joined after. I’m only a long-standing Buzzcocks fan and a bass player for my sins so ‘What Do I Know?’
It is Garth, but the two old ladies in the photo threatened to spit on a handkerchief and wash my face with it if I changed the pic.
TEENAGE KICKS FROM MANCHESTER TO DERRY❤
Nice pic with their roadies.
It seems to me better than anything they ever recorded on vinyl..
My life would have been so different if I listened to Buzzcocks and not Dead milkmen
You end up bisexual either way
What do I get .. a pick n mix..
Diggle's just come out of Woolies having failed the interview
+merseybeast76 Yes- Why he was just Another Musician in a Different Chainstore
l
u
Hahaha!!! Yes very likely!!!
But scored 2 new band members even though they are getting on a bit.
Diggle was/is a Mod.
How bass should be always
+Steve Edwards Is that Garth Smith on bass?
+Andrew Lagowski Yeah I think it is. Sure he was in the 1st peel sessions recording.
+Steve Edwards Garth once told me he used a coin as a plectrum for this session
The bass sounds like the early Buzzcock's bass sound (with Howard Devoto singing), I agree it sounds much better than the album sound, but then again all the Peel session's do
an old 50p?
y seran las madres de algunos de ellos, y si es asi OLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Pop punk at it's finest.
No such thing at the time. Just punk!
Not the pop punk you're thinking of. But yeah ramones are credited by so many people because they just sped up normal 50s pop ideas
@@startervisions Those hooks tho. You gotta give Ramones mad props for that first album alnone- those crazy catchy chord changes. The next few albums weren't too shabby either.
OOOO
Some people think they are singing " I hate Buzzcocks" :)
I always asked myself why are they singing against themselves, until I read the lyrics !
LOL great photo lads,of old Woolies...er,you have excellent taste in women.
I don't think much of those 2 buzzcocks groupies
Outside Woolworths which no longer exists absolutely class early 80s kid who stole from the pic and mix 👌
I miss stealing the pic & mix too ;)
@@hopebgood it was fun I used to think they where Free 😂
it burned down
R.I.P. Pete..
The Bass player would have been Garth. He was brilliant but didn't stay long.......!
a tyldesley lad i believe.
Who are the girls?
London1977able i bet their groupies from 77‘
@@Sydswahili yeah right
Amazing live gig 76' I was allways at the front & hot like the girl who passed out next to me . 🙃
U think th Buzzcocks were new wave before knew wave new what new wave was.
I know they were classed as punk but their image and lyrics seemed more refined. Sad about Pete dying at 63. Did he part hard or smoke I wonder.
fuckyeah
This version of What Do I Get is superior to the album.
Whose Gram is it?
Didnt know they had female backing singers?
Bass efect compressor
I can hear some surf rock vibes. Would Beach Boys have copied this bands style?
他のとこはわからないけど速い車が嫌いってすごいよね

Steve Garvey is God
Or is that Garth on this session?
Can't believe how bad the bass sounds on fast cars especially great band & session.
Harmless without Howard
CRAP.
RIP Pete Shelley
