After the release of
the track Tripping the LUV Fantastic for the Freak Beats compilation,
John Peel got in touch and booked Where's the Beach - Peter Jones and
Adam Marshall - for a first session, which was recorded on August 1st
1989 at Maida Vale Studios, with Dale Griffin producin and Mick
Robinson engineering. Chloe Mac was on vocals. At the time the band
only had three number, which clashed with the four-number format of a
Radio One Session. Jones and Marshall wanted to record a version of
the Cabaret Voltaire classic Nag Nag Nag but Dale Griffin cut the
session short and only three tracks were recorded, namely the two
songs from Freak Beats (Tripping The Love Fantastic, Deliciously
Deranged) and a version of their soon-to-be first single Suakin
(pronounced Sue-R-Kin). Peel loved the session and played it three
times once being in his best-of-the-year round-up in December. Rumours have it that
WTB never regained the raw energy that was captured on that session,
mainly due to the equipment not being very good and slack midi
timings caused by connecting things up incorrectly. The session aired
on Augusr 31st, 1989.
Exactly one year
later, after the release of the band's first single (Suakin), John
Peel booked again the band for a second session (of which he said: "I
can't understand why this band aren't what you kids call MEGA").
Marshall, Jones and vocalist Angie Summons on August 19th recorded
three tracks (Feed The Fire, Chaos At The Axe Factory (Inst),Mega
Armagedron Death / Yankamantra) which then aired on September 26th.
The third session for John Peel was
recorded after the release of their third single (Sex Slave Zombie),
in 1992. On October 11th Jones and Marshall gathered ay Maida Vale
Studios, this time with Mike Engles producing and Andrew Rogers
angineering, and recorded four new tracks (Unstoppable, Sex Slave
Zombie Part Two, Oasis, Pop Killer). This session
was finally aired on December 4th 1992.
