The Undertones - Listening In: Radio Sessions (1978-1982)


And speaking of collections that aren't necessarily the best place to start, here we have a compilation of BBC radio sessions by The Undertones. Minus The Sin Of Pride, just about everything these boys recorded is gold, and even that album has some high points (I can't speak for their recent reformation, I haven't heard it). Since there's never been an official one, this is about as close as you're going to get to a live Undertones album - although the Amsterdam 1980 bootleg is worth seeking out. Here the sound quality is good and the songs themselves are great. A must have for fans. (Again, I was unable to find a preview on YouTube specifically from this collection. Instead an unrelated live video of Jimmy Jimmy from 1979.)
