As Belle and Sebastian have been fairly dormant over the last two years, this is probably a good time to reach into the archives and pull out this classic and uncirculated recording from 2002. It was announced on Friday that there will likely be new Belle and Sebastian material this year, as the soundtrack for the movie God Help The Girl, with music composed by Stuart Murdoch, will be released this June. The official page for this movie describes is as follows:

The songs were recorded in Glasgow, featuring all the members of Belle and Sebastian and a few guests, and were arranged by Mick Cooke before the orchestral parts were captured at Angel Studios in London. The album features twelve songs, among them reworkings of the Belle and Sebastian songs, ‘Act of the Apostle’ and ‘Funny Little Frog.’

This particular 2002 concert was recorded during a fruitful period in the history of Belle and Sebastian, as the band increased their worldwide popularity, signed to Rough Trade, and released the soundtrack to Storytelling. This concert was recorded by longtime NYC taper “xcxre9” who offered his DAT master to nyctaper for release. It was captured from the first row of the first mezz at Hammerstein and the sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

This concert will only be offered in flac.
