Following the hugely coveted limited edition pressing for Record Store Day last November, feminist punk legends @therealbratmobile have released the 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 + 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘚𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 vinyl reissue. It’s the same amazing collection, now available on CLASSIC black vinyl.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 + 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘚𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 reissue brings together two key Bratmobile releases in one place. Side A, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦, was originally released in 1994 as a 12” EP and CD. Kill Rock Stars reissued it digitally in 2023, and this is its first time back in physical format. Finally back in circulation, Side B, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘚𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, exposes Bratmobile’s raw energy through a proper studio lens and includes rarely-heard versions of select songs (plus a cover song not otherwise available). Recorded for John Peel at the BBC in July 1993, these recordings haven’t seen the light of day since the EP’s original CD short run in 1994. Bratmobile’s 𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘚𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 has been out of print ever since, passed around only on worn-out CDs and bootlegs until now.

Bratmobile & Kill Rock Stars have released the limited edition The Real Janelle & The Peel Session reissue for Black Friday Record Store Day in participating record stores across the US today. As a special treat for fans, the band has also put out this release across streaming services, marking the first time The Peel Session has ever been digitally released.
🌈🦄
“Both The Real Janelle and The Peel Session were recorded within a month of each other, representing a slice of Bratmobile life in the summer of ‘93, so it makes perfect sense to rerelease them together in one package,” says frontwoman Allison Wolfe. “I’m especially psyched for The Peel Session since the recording quality is so good and it’s been nearly impossible to find (I don’t even own a copy!). We also get to kind of debut a “new” song, our cover of Blur’s “No Other Way.” Blurmobile!”
🌈🦄
Drummer Molly Meuman shares, “These records represent such a wild moment in our band’s life. From recording Janelle in our first “real” studio, to having the chance to record a Peel Session at the BBC’s historic Maida Vale studio on our first tour of the UK, it documents all of our passion for our music and our community.”
🌈🦄
Guitarist Erin Smith reminisces, “Back in the day, there was either Blur or Oasis, and you could not like both. I was definitely always solidly in the Blur camp. Their guitarist Graham Coxon has always been a keen supporter of the underground, and a huge Kill Rock Stars fan. It was the thrill of my life when Blur’s Great Escape Tour came through DC and Graham came up behind me, singing my signature one-finger E string-only version of ‘There’s No Other’ way in my ear!! He had heard the Peel Session!”
