BBC Radio Sessions Volume 2

Beggars Arkive is excited to announce The BBC Radio Sessions Vinyl Box Set, Volume 2! This special collection features ten more iconic sessions recorded for John Peel, each pressed on 12 clear vinyl and presented in a custom hand-numbered record box.

Building on the success of Volume 1, Volume 2 features shiny new artwork and is designed to perfectly complement your Volume 1 in your record collection.

This time, there’s no subscription—Volume 2 is available for pre-order now! The entire collection is offered as an exclusive box set, strictly limited to just 250 copies. Reserve your completed box set, shipping in May 2025, or choose individual records as they’re released monthly. Each release has been meticulously remastered at Abbey Road Studios, with some sessions available on vinyl for the very first time—and others making their debut in any format.

Spanning three decades, from the 1970s through the 2000s, these sessions capture the raw energy and unique spirit of BBC Radio's Peel Sessions, featuring exclusive recordings from bands on Beggars Banquet, Wiiija & Too Pure, we’re happy to announce that the sessions will be from:
