Classic Album Review: Elastica | The Radio One Sessions

The angular, fuzzy Brit punks' BBC appearances are compiled into one handy set.

This came out in 2003 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


THE ORIGINAL RELEASE DATES: 1993-’99.

THE BACK STORY: These angular, fuzzy Brit punks led by singer-guitarist Justine Frischmann made only two albums, but thankfully, they made plenty of live appearances on BBC Radio — many of which are included on this 21-track set.

THE GOODIES: Edgy, Wire-and-Stranglers-influenced gems like Line Up, In the City and Waking Up.

THE EXTRAS: Pretty much the whole disc.
