Three One G Records is marking its 31st anniversary with a reissue of The Peel Sessions from The Locust, initially recorded in 2001 and released in 2010. The reissue was remastered by Nathan Joyner (All Leather, Psychic Graveyard) in will be sold in two vinyl variants.
“Recording a Peel session for John Peel was one of the many surreal things that The Locust got to do during its lifetime. In hindsight I wish we had planned more accordingly when we got the opportunity to do it, as we sandwiched the session in among a no-night-off tour we had in the UK/ Europe back in 2001," Justin Pearson reflects. "I remember getting into London early in the morning from an overnight drive, recording all day, and then having to leave that night and travel to mainland Europe to get to Belgium or somewhere by the following morning. However it turned out very interesting as this was a document of old and new tracks with a major line up change, shifting from a five-piece to a four-piece band, most notably having Gabe Serbian move from guitar/vocals to drums, which redefined the band and its line up. Of course, the album was finalized for its vinyl release many years later, and included a layout and mock design by Sonny Kay of the traditional Peel Sessions we all grew up listening to. What an honor to be on John Peel's radar and even more to record at BBC1 for the legend.”
The reissue is out on Jan. 24, 2025.
The label is also preparing to reissue Cattle Decapitation's Human Jerky, and is repressing Deaf Club's Productive Disruption.
