HOT TAKE

The peel session version of Catch The Breeze is the better version.

Gosh it sounds so infinitely better.

Peel sessions and BBC sessions in general always sounded fantastic so no hot take here.

Chapterhouse had the best version of Breather for the BBC, Teenage Fanclub recording the best ever version of Everything Flows for the BBC, MBV's Peel session version of Feed Me With Your Kiss is perfection

It's not a hot take at all. Just For A Day originally released to some quite tepid reviews because a lot of the music press didn't think that their debut album delivered on the sound or the hype that Slowdive had built up with their live shows and early recordings. I mean, I still love it but it definitely doesn't capture the band in the way Souvlaki does. Everything's so polite and mixed low.
