E, i believe you're thinking of those "official" BBC releases that were coming out in droves in the 90s. They were kind of a "big deal" and usually came in deluxe 2CD editions. The peel sessions you have on your computer are technically boots here in the US for the most part. However john peel was a fixture in BBC radio.
Basically, all your peel sessions are BBC, bit not all those "BBC" reissues are by peel, though some do include his recordings.
My favorites from the "BBC" are Bowie at the Beeb, JD, and Pixies. All official releases. My favorite actual peel sessions are a different matter. But damn, there is a lot of both.
