Domino Recordings are proud to present “Yesterday Is Not Here a fascinating collection of Pete Shelley solo sessions. The album features a recording for Manchester’s Picadilly Radio in 1979 while Pete was still a member of Buzzcocks and is made available on vinyl here for the first time. On the flip side are two sessions recorded for BBC Radio One’s Kid Jensen Show, respectively in December 1981 and February 1983. These two sessions were recorded after the break-up of Buzzcocks, in support of Shelley’s Homosapien and XL-1 albums.
Pete Shelley is one of the stars of the punk scene: the Buzzcocks singer and subsequent solo artist was a huge influence on so many of our musical heroes , and this is a fascinating collection of radio sessions spanning the spiky guitar pop of Buzzcocks and the synth-pop of his “Homosapien” and “XL-1” albums. There are three radio sessions collected here: one from Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio in 1979 when Shelley was still one of Buzzcocks, and two solo sessions from Radio One in 1981 and 1983.
The LP is pressed on super limited-edition clear vinyl with full colour insert featuring new liner notes from Clinton Heylin and unreleased photos.
