ABOUT THIS ITEM

"London Sessions" is an unique John Peel / radio session style nine track encapsulation of LCD Soundsystem in perhaps their rawest and most original recordings to date.

The session itself was recorded in one day at the Pool / Miloco studios in south London on June 29th 2010; the week following the band's triumphant Glastonbury performance. Fans of LCD Soundsystem will know that radio sessions are something that have never been a staple of the band’s career thus far because of the belief in the necessity to maintain the highest quality of all sonic recordings released into the ether. The set, which spans the breadth of their career to date, perfectly captures the intuitive live evolvement of LCD as a band. Notably, nothing is replicated with computers. Instead, everything is played live, in real time; creating a tougher, looser and less clinical performance. These sessions feature tracks from all of their three studio albums, as well as long lost B-side classic "Yr City's A Sucker". The tracks were subsequently mixed by James Murphy in NYC at DFA’s plantain studio and mastered by his longtime cohort Bob Weston in Chicago.
