BBC In Session is a compilation of four BBC sessions by the La's, containing the band's session appearances on radio shows hosted by Janice Long, Liz Kershaw, Bob Harris and Nicky Campbell. The songs were compiled from recording sessions starting September 2, 1987 with the last track being recorded October 7, 1990. The album was released on September 18, 2006 to small scale acclaim, being given generally favorable reviews from the outlets that ranked it. AllMusic makes the claim that this album could possibly be the closest example of the “rootsy, stripped back sound” that Lee Mavers was attempting to achieve on the La’s debut album, but this is disputed due to material from the La’s being in such short supply.
