The BBC employed its own house bands and orchestras and it also engaged outside bands to record exclusive tracks for its programmes in BBC studios. This was the reason why Peel was able to use "session men" in his own programmes. Sessions were usually four tracks recorded and mixed in a single day; as such they often had a rough and ready, demo-like feel, somewhere between a live performance and a finished recording. During the 37 years Peel remained on BBC Radio 1, over 4000 sessions were recorded by over 2000 artists. Many classic Peel Sessions have been released on record, particularly by the Strange Fruit label.

Notable producers of Peel sessions include John Walters, former Mott the Hoople drummer Dale Griffin and future BBC radio DJ Mark Radcliffe. Long-time sessions producer Bill Aitken also did one as a solo artist, while Bob Sargeant did six solo sessions after playing keyboards on two as a member of the Mick Abrahams' Band. In a 2002 interview, Peel highlighted the first two Slits sessions as personal favourites, with the first by Culture named as the one he listened to most on record.[1]
