Release Notes:
On the 23rd August 2000 Hefner played a very special
show from BBCÆs Maida Vale studios to an invited
audience for the John Peel show. This was the
highlight of a relationship between the band and the
greatly revered DJ which saw 5 Peel sessions and
four live concerts broadcast on his Radio 1 show.
The concert on this CD features an 8 piece version
of the band with includes a brass section, pedal
steels, ukuleles and violin alongside their own
guitars bass and drums. It also features several
contributions from Amelia Fletcher, (Talulah Gosh,
Heavenly, Wedding Present, Marine Research). The
songs have been newly remixed from the original
master tapes and the CD features photos from the
night and sleeve notes from Darren Hayman.
The CD captures an exceptional performance of many
songs rarely played live during HefnerÆs short
career. Maida Vale follows the release of The Best
Of Hefner and Catfight (a collection of unreleased
recordings) and is the premier release on Belka, a
label which will continue to release re-mastered and
expanded versions of HefnerÆs back catalogue through
out 2007.
