Domino have also created a Pete Shelley exclusive for Record Store Day (April 12). Yesterday Is Not Here: Radio Sessions 1979-1983 is a collection of three never-before-released radio sessions – an acoustic one broadcast on Piccadilly Radio on in January 1979, and the other two recorded with full bands for David ‘Kid’ Jensen in December 1981 (prior to the release of Homosapien) and Feb 1983 (prior to the release of XL-1). More details on that here.
