12 November 1984

Show

Peel mentions being in Dundee the previous Saturday (10 November), presumably an appearance of the 'John Peel Roadshow'.
Stories in the music press claim that Peel has banned a single by the Shock Headed Peters. He explains that the idea of a ban is ludicrous. He hasn't played the record because he doesn't think it very good. The record company chose instead to put it about that he had banned it: "It's one of these things where I suppose, it's good publicity to do this but it's certainly not the case at all. I just didn't think it was a good enough record to play. I don't play Des O'Connor records but you don't see Des O'Connor being interviewed in the papers and saying John Peel's a bastard and he's banned my records."
