Belle & Sebastian - BBC Sessions, Volume 12: 2015-2017

Here's Belle and Sebastian at the BBC yet again... kind of. I say "kind of" because I included a lot of non-BBC stuff. Only the last four songs actually come from BBC performances. But the others are from other radio appearances with excellent sound quality and no audience noise, so just imagine those are BBC performances too. :)

Belle and Sebastian were on recording hiatus for about five years, until the 2015 album "Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance." So there are some songs from that album, but lots of older songs too. Everything here is unreleased. The first eight songs are from an appearance on the "Morning Becomes Eclectic" radio show. The next three are from a Minnesota Public Radio appearance. The last four are from two different BBC appearances.

I have two more BBC volumes planned that more or less get us to the present day of 2023.

This album is an hour and five minutes long.

02 Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie (Belle & Sebastian)
