LCD Soundsystem – London Sessions (Vinyl 2LP)

LCD Soundsystem’s London Sessions album is a unique “Peel Sessions”- style nine-track encapsulation of the group’s rawest and most original recordings. Initial recording took place in one day at The Pool / Miloco Studios in South London on June 29, 2010, in the week following a triumphant Gastonbury performance, and the tracks were subsequently mixed by James Murphy in New York at DFA’s Plantain Studio and mastered by his longtime cohort Bob Weston in Chicago. The set, which spans the breadth of their career, captures the intuitive live evolution of LCD as a band. Nothing is replicated with computers – everything is recreated in real time, tougher, looser and less clinically. London Sessions features tracks from all three of LCD Soundsystem’s studio albums, as well as the long-lost B-side classic “Yr City’s a Sucker,” and is a must for any fan of the band.
