Between 1989 and 1995 Kirsty MacColl recorded four sessions for BBC Radio 1. This CD features unique versions of some of her hits, plus several favourite album tracks and two duets with Billy Bragg.

The 8 page booklet features comprehensive liner notes and Kirsty's own recollections of these sessions, together with photographs and full recording details.

"I was...rather concerned when Hux approached me about releasing these tapes, in case they turned out to be the aural equivalent of embarrassing holiday snapshots...(however)the tracks sound pretty good - and they made me laugh."

HUX001

"...these recordings capture MacColl... - clearly enjoying the informal settings, and in good voice without the overpolishing that too often takes the edge off her records...Great stuff."
