Listened to john peel on my transistor radio... discovered bands like the associates.
wow so amazing his voice i agree some of his best work and a massive thankyou for our wonderful John Peel without johns platform we would never get to hear these amazing bands miss them both R.i.P billy and john
Personally I think J P was an arse wipe, but agre he did a lot to promote bands
and now alan...
Thanks a lot for sharing possibly the finest example of The Associates available on the Internet. Hitting peak creativity here! Still sounds like it comes from another planet after 35 years.
RIP Alan.
50 per cent of the finest band ever.
@@simonrice5741 25%, surely.
Absolutely marvellous. I miss Billy and Alan. That voice was something else.
People have forgotten this. So vibrant and complex
Unbelievable...If they had released this stuff on an album, as in 'Hatful of Hollow', it would be an undisputed classic. This band is on fire....
Amazing voice... great band!
You were right John. This session was a blinder. I was blown away when I was listening that night and it still sounds amazing even now. RIP John and Billy McKenzie.
is john murphy dead...
John Murphy passed away in 2015.
RIP Billy McKenzie, Alan Rankine, John Murphy and John Peel.
Awww...heady days..!I was the same age as Billy,and the band I was in also did the Peel sessions in 1980..I loved The associates from the first time I laid eyes on them..and I love them still...So sad to hear of Alans passing..Thanks for putting this up-never heard it before..Brilliant! XX
I'm not sure The Associates ever sounded better than this...just drenched in reverb and amphetamines.
😂😂😂
🎧📻🎸🎤 GLAD TO HEAR JOHN PEELS'S MUSIC AGAIN...👤
HIS VOICE ... Lent his bio 📓 to a friend who never gave it back...
🗣R.I.P. He was digging successfully for unknown treasures.
My god, the instrumental genius of Me, Myself and the Tragic Story, decorated with Billy's atmospherics, is a wonderful way to remember the modest and outrageously talented Alan Rankine. What they could have done with a bit more love and respect for their idiosyncrasies. How sad they are both gone now.
JOYUS, MAGNIFICENT, GENIUS.
Marvelous
I just love how much John Peel genuinely cared for all the bands he featured on his sessions
Thanks so much for uploading this, fairly difficult to get hold off. This is an excellent session. Loved Nude Spoons!
Not one album version nearly comes close to what happens here. In fact i dont know many postpunk/new wave bands who can mess with these 5 songs! Maniac, hypermelodic, dancy, rough, intense...not of this world. Listen to Nude Spoons and A Matter of Gender....breathtaking!
you summed it up perfectly
So true.
Good-bye mister mac Kenzie!.💞💛👍💋💙💜👽👼😿😭Goôooooodbye!⛲⛲⛪🗿see you in heaven Dear Billy with your beloved Mother🎹🙏👻👼
Beautiful chaos!
Clucking bell, these versions are astonishingly good.
Thank you Vibracobra23 for this upload and may of your others too. What words can adequately describe the majesty and uniqueness of The Associates?
Excellent, very good indeed!
This band mature over time. I remember people going "Associates! Pah". Well. Check this. Peel even mentions Preston's finest: The Blank Students!
f*kk !! RIP Alan ;-(
THE BEST
Guy in my work introduced me to The Associates just the other day, what a recommendation, I can’t get enough of this Peel session..
Holy shit
I cannot thank you enough. I never found this. On hard repeat
I hope the Italian Greyhound was ok 💜
wow excellent. sounds similar to The Smiths. I wonder if The Smiths are influenced by the Associate's
Of course they were. Just look up the story behind ‘William, It Was Really Nothing’ and Associates’ ’Stephen, You're Really Something’.
Johnny Marr namechecks them in his autobiography and says how cool he thinks they were.
Now I know where the Sugarcubes got their manic genius- There is quite a lot of the early Cure sound here too but thats no surprise they were on fiction and used ex- cure bassist micheal dempsey , Billy's Vox however is unique....
Craig Brown Robert Smith did backing vocals on the affectionate punch and wrote cut here in tribute after his death.
Nah nothing like the cure, even Dempsey bass playing is so different as he plays really high, twangy and melodic all the time, it’s so manic, fast, punky and crazy sounding, lots of falsetto too and talking in vocals which bob never does. More like Siouxsue guitaring.
Unbelievable!
Where can i find some of their live video session. Honestly an amazing band. Love it
'Set me up' from the catastrophically-produced Glamour Chase album was a revelation when I finally found it. It was painful to think of what a shambles the producer had made of it ( a fact he readily admitted to in the documentary ).
Amazing! Glorious ... and slightly hoarse ;)
Legendary
never heard this band. I hope vinyl comes close to this. this session has the intensity, abandon and precision of Ultavox' HA HA HA masterwork.
What a voice,
good stuff
They have recycled Me , myself and the tragic story and renamed it "arrogance gave him up" for the Sulk album.
SUBBED! Excellent collection! Thank you!
Fabuleux
OK. William to quote a famous MORRISSEY song lyric via Alastian Cousin.. 'We're you and he Lovers' . 😏 👌
Nude Spoons.
Thanks, this is miles better than Party Fears.
Wow! :0)
John Murphy on drums...
What a drummer
love cats^^ bonne soirée^^ à tres bientot
À bientôt :-)
Some of the worst music to come of Scotland. Confused and a mess.
He killed himself because he went bald, brilliant.
No he didn't kill himself because he was bald don't be so disrespectful
He committed suicide because depression and also he missed his mother badly
