Cud - 30th June 1987


This was the first of three sessions by Leeds band Cud. This session was recorded as a direct result of a demo tape which the band had sent to Peel, and suffice to say he was quite impressed with. Shortly afterwards the band signed to The Wedding Present's Reception record label for the release of their debut single "Mind The Gap". The bands debut album "When In Rome, Kill Me" emerged in 1989 on Imaginary Records and included the brilliant "Only A Prawn In Whitby" which if you haven't heard it sounds just as good as it's title.

The band recorded three sessions for the Peel program of which this is the first but I'm ashamed to say this is the only one I own. If anyone out there has the other two please get in touch.
