The Undertones: Radio Sessions (1978-1982)

Y'know of the millions of things I'm glad John Peel did before his untimely passing, helping make this absolutely compelling documentary about The Undertones (more here) was one of the top ones. By laying out an affecting story about kids, guitars and adversity, the film makes the case for the power of rock n' roll better than almost any other rock doc. Do not miss it!



Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8


What we have here is the Undertons "complete" BBC sessions, which includes a lot of things that you'd expect alongside rare versions of Gary Glitter's glam-pop hit "Rock n' Roll" and Michael and the Messengers garage-rock Nugget "Just Like Romeo and Juliet".
