Links to Peel[]
Aside from his support of Bauhaus during their early career, Peel seems to have paid little atention to Murphy's solo work, save for one play of his cover version of Magazine's The Light Pours Out Of Me, first released on a Beggar's Banquet sampler in 1985 and later included on the singer's first solo album in 1986.
Dali's Car's debut album The Waking Hour features in Peel's Record Collection: D.
