UK band The Libertines, and co-founding member Pete Doherty's subsequent band Babyshambles, have distributed a large number of their sessions online.

It is at times difficult to ascribe a particular session to one band or the other. The first confusing matter is that the Baby Shambles Sessions predate the band Babyshambles and were produced by The Libertines. Secondly, it took a while for Babyshambles to establish themselves as a concrete band, with Pete Doherty the only constant in the line up. Considering the many fall-outs between Pete and Libertines cohort Carl Barât, it may be difficult to ascertain if a session is done by The Libertines without Carl, Pete Doherty (on his own) or Babyshambles. The vast majority of the research that went into this catalogue of bootlegs was produced as an appendix in the book The Libertines Bound Together by Anthony Thornton and Roger Sargent. Peter Doherty (born March 12, 1979) is an English musician. ... Carl Ashley Raphael Barât (born June 6, 1978) is the frontman and lead guitarist of Dirty Pretty Things. ... Bound Together cover The Libertines Bound Together is a book focuced on The Libertines by the writer, Anthony Thornton, and the photographer, Roger Sargent. ...

The Baby Shambles Sessions

Recorded by: The Libertines

The Baby Shambles Sessions is a set of songs recorded by The Libertines while in New York. The singer and guitarist Carl Barât left before completion of the tapes, which were intended for the second album. Bassist John Hassall also lent a hand, playing the bassline on one song, "The Man Who Would Be King". It is thought that Barat played drums on some tracks. Doherty then gave the tapes to Helen Hsu, a fan, at the Chelsea Hotel in New York. She, at his request (a fact he later denied), made the tracks available to the band's fans over the internet. A 3-CD set of these sessions can also often be found for sale on internet auction sites and can also be downloaded for free at Albion Arks. Several of the tracks that feature on the sessions were later recorded and included on The Libertines' second studio album. A few were also later recorded for Babyshambles Down in Albion, and their most recent The Blinding EP. This article is about the band The Libertines. ... NY redirects here. ...
