However, I think there was an earlier, more apt tribute when Peel played this on his first show following the death of his mate and fellow Radio 1 producer, John Walters. Incidentally, he opened his show that night with a tune by Ken Colyer, a single that he and Walters (then unknown to each other) both claimed to have bought on the first day it had come out many years earlier. Very moving it was too to hear Peel that night - I've got a tape of it somewhere.Spencenoreply@blogger.com
