Product Description
Earlier in the year the BBC celebrated 20 years of Britpop with Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley bringing back the Evening Session and inviting listeners to vote for their favourite Britpop Anthem. Britpop at the BBC features the public’s favourite Britpop anthems including the iconic bands of the era with a rare clearance of Oasis ‘Wonderwall’ along with all the tracks that defined the genre: Blur ’Parklife’, Pulp ‘Common People’, The Verve 'Lucky Man', Radiohead 'Creep', Paul Weller 'The Changingman', Ash 'Girl From Mars', Suede 'Animal Nitrate'.

Steve and Jo choose their favourite tracks from their time on the Evening Session uncovering forgotten favourites from Ocean Colour Scene 'The Day We Caught The Train', The Divine Comedy 'Something For The Weekend', Space 'Female Of the Species', Elastica 'Connection', Lush 'Single Girl' and Kenickie 'Punka'. To quote Steve Lamacq from the sleeve notes: ‘Here you’ll find a whole array of bands; the mavericks and miscreants who made Britpop what it was.’

CD 3 picks out highlights from the BBC archive of Evening Session recordings with exclusive unreleased live performances from Blur 'Girls & Boys' / Pulp 'Lipgloss' / Suede 'Trash' / Charlatans 'One To Another' and many more.

Amazon UK the clear price winner for now... I'll likely pick this up at some point.

If you look at the track listing on Amazon UK it appears that only the last disc is actual live performances. Otherwise, it appears that the rest of it is just a greatest hits package.

The first 2 discs are BBC sessions - done live that day in the radio station studio with very little studio trickery and aired later on the radio. Like a "Peel Sessions" disc.

That's not correct. I just got the set and can tell you, at least the songs I know are the original album recordings.

The reviews on the same site also confirm this suspicion.
