Precious Recordings of London is an independent label and record company based in Putney, London, UK. Led by former horse racing journalist Nick Godfrey, this label specializes in releasing "historical" BBC radio sessions on double 7"-vinyl. The name of the label is inspired by the song "Let's Make This Precious" by The Weddoes.

Thirty years after they started kicking out the jams, indie legends Helen Love make their debut on Precious with a session that has legendary status with fans – and with listeners of Steve Lamacq’s much-loved Evening Session. Yes indeedy, pop pickers, to coincide with the 25th anniversary of its initial broadcast, this is the session featuring none other than Joey Ramone on the phone and a never-to-be-forgotten (and never-before- released) cover of The Clash’s ‘Tommy Gun’ that morphs into a jingle for Lammo. Then we get three Helen Love classics, great photos from Alison Wonderland and a set of postcards (and Joey shows up here as well – more than once). Free downloads with the vinyl – and get a move on, because there are only 300 copies.
