(JP: ‘One of things I always dread, in a way, about bands that I really like becoming hugely famous is they seem to stop doing anything really. I mean, obviously a lot of them get into kind of serious drug abuse and disappear by and large. But the bands that you care for, as I say, it’s distressing when they become famous and don’t make records anymore. Whatever became of My Bloody Valentine are they still out there somewhere?’) [2]

(JP: ‘..and the mention of Moe Tucker gives me the opportunity to remind you, those people who have written to me or phoned me or I’ve bumped into somewhere and said “Are you going to get the Velvet Underground in for a session?” We made every conceivable effort to do this. I really crept, you know, we sent messages along the lines of (I’m not quite sure if it was true – but it might well have been) that I was the first person to play their stuff on the radio. Played it extensively when the first LP came out in 1967 and all that kind of stuff. And in their warm hearted way they’ve completely ignored, actually, all of our requests, haven’t replied to phone call or letters or indeed anything else. So we’ve done what we can and have got nowhere, I regret to say. Ecstasy Of Saint Theresa, they turned up though’...)

(JP: ‘Well that’s about it. Thanks very much for listening. Over to you Lynn.’)

Footnotes[]

  1. The Velvet Underground had reformed in 1992 and were touring in the UK in 1993.
  2. My Bloody Valentine had not released any records since their LP – Loveless came out in November 1991.
  3. This is another 7 inch Peel found during the search (for that lost Little Richard cover version).
  4. John says this is one of those tracks that sound OK at both 33 or 45. He played it at 33 as per the record label, but according to Discogs the correct speed is actually 45.
