 * Comments
 * From John Peel - Altered Images 81 mixtape from Mark.
 * 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”.
