The Peel Sessions is an extended play (EP) by the Scottish rock band The Jesus & Mary Chain, released in September 1991 by Strange Fruit. It contains recordings the band made for John Peel's Radio 1 show. It was re-released in 2000 as part of a compilation containing all of the band's Peel sessions.

Critical reception

Trouser Press remarked that the EP is "notable for its first half: a February 1985 document of Psychocandy songs played by the short-lived quartet (with future Primal Scream leader Bobby Gillespie on drums) that originally recorded them." AllMusic called it "their most revealing Peel session ... It proved that their songs had an underlying beauty not always apparent below the usual layers of screeching feedback."
