Music Through A Cheap Transistor, by the band Therapy?, is set to be released for download on February 26 by Universal Records. To be released initially as an exclusive download through the Itunes service, it will be made available on other legal download services after a two week period. It is one of the first releases in Universal Records new series of BBC sessions.
The album features five different performances by Therapy?, which were recorded between 1990 and 1998 for BBC radio. It includes unique and exclusive versions of some of their greatest hits, alongside live favourites and three previously unreleased tracks: The Sweeney, Lost Highway and Pile Of Bricks. Most noticeably lacking is the 2004 Rock Show session. This is probably due to the compilation being released by Universal Records, as the 2004 session was composed entirely of tracks from 2004's Never Apologise Never Explain, which was released by Spitfire Records.
(The band were on A&M Records when all the featured sessions were recorded, but A&M have since been taken over by Universal Records; hence the release via Universal Records.)
"It's very flattering to be in the first batch of artists to have these old sessions made available in their entirety especially in a digital download format. Having existed as scraps on C-90's or as half-forgotten memories, it's brilliant to be able to re-visit so many unique (and one-off) performances and let people see what all the fuss was about..." Michael McKeegan - Therapy?
