-"Peel Sessions normally consisted of four tracks which were recorded in advance in the BBC recording studio and broadcast at a later date when the band were not present. Sometimes bands played live on the programme, but they were not referred to as Peel Sessions. The [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] session was unusual because they were in the BBC recording studio recording their session at the same time as the Peel programme was on air. This meant that they could have a live link-up with [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] in the recording studio, and that's when the interview took place. They played XYZ live on the programme at that time (16-6-98), but that was the only track they played and the mp3 of XYZ with the interview really is the whole thing. The complete Peel Session was broadcast on 21-7-98 with all 4 tracks, but the band were not present and there was no interview" <ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=18642#p18642</ref>.
