The BBC Recordings is a live album by English post-punk[1] band the Sound, consisting of two sessions and two live recordings from 1980 to 1985 done for BBC radio.

The first disc of The BBC Recordings consists of two recorded sessions, the first for Mike Read, which was originally broadcast between 6 and 9 October 1980, and the second for John Peel, broadcast on 16 November 1981.

The BBC Recordings received a positive response from critics.

Peter Parrish of Stylus wrote: "Capable of oppressive gloom and fiery beauty in equal measure, this double-CD compilation captures the band at their intense best".

[2] AllMusic's Andy Kellman called the Mike Read session "thrilling to hear two decades after the fact, and must've been a revelation in 1980".
