[peel] Re: Peel favourites on TV - Bonzos and Viv Stanshall

[Paul Bryant]

Hi Roger


There is a mighty 7/8 cd boot set of late 60s Peel

devoted to the Bonzos. I don't know if you know of
this. I might be barking up the wrong tree. If you
need further info I can post up the track lists when I
get home...
