Thirty years after they started kicking out the jams, indie legends Helen Love make their debut on Precious with a session that has legendary status among fans – and with listeners of Steve Lamacq’s much-loved Evening Session.
Yes indeedy, pop pickers, to coincide with the 25th anniversary of its initial broadcast, this is the session featuring none other than Joey Ramone on the telephone and a never-to-be-forgotten (and never-before-released) cover of The Clash’s Tommy Gun that morphs into a jingle for Lammo!
Then we get three Helen Love classics, great photos from Alison Wonderland and a set of postcards (and Joey shows up here as well – more than once!) Free downloads with the vinyl – and get a move on, because there are only 300 copies.
Songsheet: Tommy Gun. Does Your Heart Go Boom, Shifty Disco Girl, MC5
Includes unlimited streaming of PRE 030: HELEN LOVE – Steve Lamacq session 16.09.98
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

it's an absolute treat to have both of The Orchids Peel.sessions available digitally and on vinyl. I'd forgotten just how good they sounded. Four fantastic songs - a rip-roaring version of the much loved Caveman and the beautiful Dirty Clothing from the greatest album of the 90s, Unholy Soul. Truly wonderful. richardw27
