Belle & Sebastian - BBC Sessions, Volume 9: 2006-2010

Here's yet another album of Belle and Sebastian performing for the BBC

This is an album of studio sessions. Most of them were done for the BBC, but a few were not. Specifically, tracks 6, 7, and 8 come from a Seattle radio station session, and tracks 9, 10, and 11 come from a "Morning Becomes Eclectic" radio show. The rest come from four different BBC sessions.

All but the last three songs date to 2006. At that time, the band was promoting their 2006 album "The Life Pursuit." The next album was in 2010, "Write about Love," so that's why there are three songs from that year.

Between 2006 and 2010, the band's main singer and songwriter Stuart Murdoch was heavily involved in a different music group he created called "God Help the Girl." The next BBC volume will deal with material related to that band.

This album is 48 minutes long.

The cover actually dates to 2003. I should have used it for an earlier volume, but oh well. The woman at the front and center is actress Shanta Roberts, who is not part of the band. But this was from the photo shoot for the cover of the "Dear Catastrophe Waitress," and she was featured with all the band members on that.
