The La's - BBC In Session
Review by Shannon Wamsley
BBC In Session by La's is a must-listen for fans of the Liverpool-based band. The album features four sessions recorded for the BBC between 1987 and 1991, showcasing the band's raw energy and unique sound.
The album kicks off with the band's first session, recorded in 1987, which includes early versions of "Son of a Gun" and "There She Goes," two of the band's most popular tracks. The second session, recorded in 1988, features a more stripped-down sound and includes lesser-known tracks like "Doledrum" and "Way Out."
The third session, recorded in 1990, sees the band experimenting with new sounds and arrangements, with standout tracks like "Timeless Melody" and "Feelin'." The final session, recorded in 1991, showcases the band at their peak, with powerful renditions of tracks like "I Can't Sleep" and "Looking Glass."

Summary by Shannon Wamsley
Comments
The most underrated band of the 90's!!! Made moves WAY before Nirvana ever came onto the seen!
this is so mind-blowingly good i have chills all over my body
This is the La's at their best when they are playing live. Lee hated all the overdubs and thought it took the mojo away....see his thinking...fast, tight and a bit bluesy! Top stuff La'
Dig it...
best‼︎‼︎‼︎
you fukin minge bags buy another copy!
I'm not sure I've ever heard a Guitar enjoy a song that much before, didn't want to stop lol
.....imperfectly perfect, a gem wrapped in plain, brown paper!
This is mind blowing. Only thing letting it down is the dodgy vocal effect!
Cant beleive my bitch of an ex made away with the bbc album. An absolute gem of an album. ... she probably uses it as a tea coaster!!!!
@MrFireboy1992 yeah... love it
I had this CD last summer and played the crap out of it. There was a song on it called "Over" which is just so spooky and raw sounding.
This really sounds like a Stones song
Omg what a great song
The guitar break quotes "Lady Grinning Soul" by David Bowie.
Great song. Why wasn't it on the album?
