These are BBC Radio 1 John Peel Sessions, here the correct dates :
(tracks / studio / recorded / first broadcasted)
1-4 : Maida Vale 4, May 9th 1979 / May 16th 1979
5-8 : Maida Vale 4, March 3d 1980 / March 10th 1980
9-12 : Langham 1, January 7th 1981 / January 15th 1981
13-15 : Maida Vale 4, December 21st 1981 / January 4th 1982

Although not precised, the track 1 contains an alt. lyrics version of 'Grinding Halt' & track 10 'Primary' is an alt. lyrics version AKA 'Yellow Version'.
The BBC site credits Simon Gallup on vocals and Lol Tolhurst on backing vocals on every track, it seems to be incorrect as the only recognizable voice heared is the one of Robert Smith who has of to record several takes, as later on many studio recordings.
