Twelve tracks recorded between 1985 and 1988 for the 'Peel Sessions.' http://www.firerecords.com/site/index.ph p?page=release&releaseid=1176   Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 6949 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Monday, October 20, 2014 - 01:25 pm:    Thanks Hugh. Beware, though, anyone who has The Secret Box already has all these tracks.   Simon Withers Member Username: Sfwithers Post Number: 227 Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2014 - 11:06 pm:    Thanks Hugh (and Pádraig). My hopes were high - but I have the Secret Box, bought in Christchurch for $20NZ or so if I remember rightly. It was a long time ago... A great, great band. One of my all-time favourites.   Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 6956 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Saturday, October 25, 2014 - 01:01 am:    $20NZ? About £7. What a bargain. It goes for many multiples of that now.   Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 921 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Saturday, October 25, 2014 - 04:31 pm:    If I remember correctly some of the BBC session tracks aren't of the greatest quality on the Secret Box ? Think that I had found that the versions on YouTube actually sounded better !   Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 6957 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Sunday, October 26, 2014 - 01:28 am:    I think you could be right Andrew. I haven't played it in many years, but I recall a lot of the live tracks not having great sound. Maybe somebody could report here what the sound on the new release is like and I might then buy it. Hell, I'll probably buy it anyway.   Gbh Unregistered guest Posted on Friday, October 31, 2014 - 09:52 pm:    I think the bbc sessions were fine on an (I have this) there were tons of stuff recorded at places like the vluepot in 1982 which will sound pretty rough. I will buy the new album as it is remastered and happy to support Martin in his quest to be a 'going concern' again. Now, if someone will just remaster brave words again....(to be called 'Spoken bravely'according to Martin if it ever happens!)   Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 922 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Sunday, November 02, 2014 - 05:42 pm:    I'll second that motion for remastering "Brave Words" a very special record with the most appalling mix ever.   Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 776 Registered: 03-2007 Posted on Monday, November 10, 2014 - 11:06 pm:    Link to a review of the album and some song samples. http://whenyoumotoraway.blogspot.co.uk/2 014/11/review-chills-bbc-sessions.html   Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 934 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Monday, November 24, 2014 - 06:04 pm:    Informative interview in the Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/no v/24/the-chills-martin-phillipps-comebac k   Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 6998 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 - 04:59 pm:    Thanks Andrew, that's a great piece.
