In case you are not aware of it, both Peel sessions of the excellent 
Blue Orchids were released by LTM in 2002 in a compilation 
titled "From Severe to Serene", which also included their Thirst EP 
as well as live tracks recorded in Manchester. Unfortunately, of 
course, those recordings were without John's introduction.

Regarding Marcelle's questions about John's introduction on 
Vinyl/CD, I can immediately recall two - one is the Peel session of 
Toten Hosen, which I believe was only released in Germany; and the 
other one which is more available is Government Commissions by 
Mogwai - although that was confined to just a few words in the first 
track.
