 I can offer a bit of info on this. This was recorded especially for a Lonnie Donegan tribute show that Peel and his production team were putting together in 2004. A number of cover versions had been recorded by various artists. Sadly, Peel's passing meant that the tribute show never happened. The completed recordings were aired on the Rob da Bank show in December 2004, mostly one per night. Maybe the Billy Bragg track was recorded at the BBC during some other visit, which is why it's listed as session recording.

There is a new Billy Bragg At The BBC compilation out today, which has many selections from his various Peel Sessions, along with some other pretty great BBC archive tracks
What's currently got me confused thought is the last Peel Session track on the comp is a cover of the Lee Hays track called Lonesome Traveller - dated 8th December 2004. 
Obviously this is after Peel's death, when Rob Da Bank was presenting. There is no mention of this track on the wiki for the 8th Dec 2004, so I guess that was the recording date at MV. It's not mentioned in Ken's book either
I finally found it on the wiki for the show 23rd Dechttps://peel.fandom.com/wiki/23_December_2004_(Rob_Da_Bank) Where is is listed as a Peel Session track, but neither Ken's book or the wiki mention BB in specifically in session that  night (and it's the only BB track played)

I suspect the answer is in the file, but the link on the wiki is dead and I can't immediately find it elsewhere
Does anyone have it?Cheers
PS - congrats to Stuart for finishing the Lee Tapes - I remember when he contacted me it seemed an insurmountable task!
