In 66-67 when Peel was doing that 'Perfumed Garden' show on Radio London, I really didn't expect that there would be a BBC-TV tribute to him more than 30 years later... They had a few interesting clips, including a full version of 'Astronomy Domine' by Syd and the boys, of which I have only seen extracts previously. But as Charlotte Raven pointed out in today's Guardian, the selections all came from the acceptable end of Peel's taste - no sign of the endless hours of dub without any tune and the non-stop thrash which only sounds good for the first 12 seconds. There was no Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is ridiculous, as they were the first group that Peel really got behind (remember that Clodsley Mole reading on the album?). On the other hand, clips of the Faces and the Undertones and were shown at least twice. Peel still claims that 'Teenage Kicks' is his all-time favourite single. There was a short song by Bridget St John, which was very good in a Sandy Denny / Nick Drake kind of way. They said BSJ had moved to Greenwich Village. Does anyone have any post-1972 news of her? Most excitingly of all for Hitchcock fans, there was an interview with the Higsons, who said that the only money they ever made was BBC fees for their Peel sessions. They also admitted that they probably only got on the show because they come from Norwich (as we all know) which is apparently near Peel Acres. There was no discussion of porridge, however. - - Mike Godwin PS I always thought that 'Colour My World' was better than 'Downtown'. PPS Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger used to do a great version of 'Season of the Witch'; but the original Donovan performance on 'Sunshine Superman' is sensational, creepy, fabulous, spot on (I love any recording which includes a harpsichord) ... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1999 09:45:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Griffith Davies Subject: Largo last week?

'Cum on feel the noize'(sic) was the fourth of Slade's six(!) number one singles in the UK, according to: http://www.online.de/home/slade/hitparade.htm Slade were managed by Chas Chandler after he split with Hendrix. They had this very effective bovver boy image which was somewhat undermined when someone found some early footage of them playing a cover version of 'Martha My Dear', one of the plinky-plonkiest McCartney songs on the White Album. > "Three Little Words" was by the songwriting team of Bert Kalmar (Kalamar? not sure) and Harry Ruby. There is a charming musical about them starring Fred Astaire as one half of the team. I think Vera Lynn was in it too :). Kalmar is right.
