The sessions originally came about due to restrictions imposed on the BBC by the <a href="/wiki/Musicians%27_Union_(UK)" class="mw-redirect" title="Musicians' Union (UK)">Musicians' Union</a> and <a href="/wiki/Phonographic_Performance_Limited" title="Phonographic Performance Limited">Phonographic Performance Limited</a> which represented the record companies dominated by the <a href="/wiki/EMI" title="EMI">EMI</a> cartel. </p><p>Due to these restrictions, the BBC had been forced to hire bands and orchestras to render <a href="/wiki/Cover_versions" class="mw-redirect" title="Cover versions">cover versions</a> of recorded music. The theory behind this device was that it would create employment and force people to buy records and not listen to them free of charge on the air. One of the reasons why the offshore broadcasting stations of the 1960s were called "pirates" was because they operated outside of British laws and were not bound by the <a href="/wiki/Needle_time" title="Needle time">needle time</a> restriction on the number of records they could play on the air. </p><p>The BBC employed its own house bands and orchestras and it also engaged outside bands to record exclusive tracks for its programmes in BBC studios. This was the reason why Peel was able to use "session men" in his own programmes. Sessions were usually four tracks recorded and mixed in a single day; as such they often had a rough-and-ready, demo-like feel, somewhere between a live performance and a finished recording. During the 37 years Peel remained on <a href="/wiki/BBC_Radio_1" title="BBC Radio 1">BBC Radio 1</a>, over 4,000 sessions were recorded by over 2,000 artists.<sup id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many classic Peel Sessions have been released on record, particularly by the <a href="/wiki/Strange_Fruit_Records" title="Strange Fruit Records">Strange Fruit</a> label.
