No, although I've seen it listed in all the ads as a "Peel Sessions" disc,
the actual US CD says "Danielle Dax - The BBC Sessions."  The track list
is basically what aruss said above:

  Fizzing Human Bomb (3:39)
  Pariah (3:36)
  Ostrich (3:57)
  Numb Companions (3:20)
  [recorded Dec 1 85, broadcast Jan 14 86 on Radio 1]

Like woj, I found a used copy for $5.  It's great!  Kinda sad that the best
thing (IMHO) I've bought in weeks is six years old... the versions are not
very different from the album tracks, but arguably better in spots.  Sound
quality is a little iffy, though, with noticeable tape hiss, etc.  On the
last track, there are a few little glitches, like punch-in/out clicks or mic
noise.  Is this on the UK CD and vinyl?
