The Peel Sessions Album (Microdisney album)

The Peel Sessions Album is a compilation of tracks recorded by the Irish pop group Microdisney for the Peel Sessions on radio DJ John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show. Peel championed the band describing them as "an iron fist in a velvet glove", and Microdisney recorded six sessions for his show, amounting to 24 songs, gathered from their first three studio albums and earlier self released tracks.

The vinyl LP edition collected 12 songs from these sessions, the CD versions and later compact cassette reissues added two additional tracks.
