[peel] Digest Number 816

[Marcelle van Hoof]

Hello, in my pre-punk days I bought some Status Quo singles and the
extensive sleevenotes on my Roll Over Lay Down single (from 1975) are
written by Peel.... and he is very enthusiastic about them (if anyone wants
the full text let me know....)

Marcelle (from Amsterdam)

> I was on holiday in London in about 1997, and walking through a SoHo
bookstore that seemed to specialize in overstock and discount books, there
was a 4 foot high stack of unsold Ken Garner Peel Sessions books, for 7
pounds 99 each.

States might want one as a gift, and could think of no one. (Peel listeners
in the States, then as now, but even more so in the pre-internet era, are
few and far between. Too busy attending G H W Bush rallies I guess.)

are on holiday you tire of carrying shopping parcels all day.
