There's not much more you could ask for other than more performances, but until we build that time machine and steer Curtis away from the heartbreaking end he brought about, we'll have to enjoy these brilliant numbers without thinking 'what if', and instead just appreciate the opportunity to experience a small vibe of what it must have been like standing at the front of packed room in a small north west club, as the boys stumbled on stage to wash the crowd in gloomy post-punk perfection. All in all, The Complete BBC Recordings is a handy way acquiring both Peel sessions and the much bootlegged Something Else performances in one handy, and thrilling bundle. A must-have for fans, a curio for everyone else.
