John Peel - Altered Images 81

Tape

 * Name
 * John Peel - Altered Images 81


 * Station
 * BBC Radio One


 * YYYY-MM
 * 1981


 * Another mixtape from Mark, and an especially valuable one as it proves Peel did play Duran Duran at some point.
 * Mark comments: "Always relished the fact that Peel “discovered” The Durans – so often he played bands that were later to break into the mainstream – this was special, although there is a touch of rancour in his voice in a link after The Original Mirrors (an Ian Broudie band) when he infers that Adam and the Ants thanked Peter Powell for “discovering them”. Many mentions of his impending trip to Paris to see Liverpool in European Cup Final and need for a holiday … having messed up plans by arranging to take the John Peel roadshow to East Kilbride!"
