Label description for the new Simon Joyner re-issue:

"Omaha, Nebraska native and singer/songwriter Simon Joyner has been
writing about the dizzy and dark aspects of the human condition since
1992. The Cowardly Traveller Pays His Toll was originally released in
1994, on Sing, Eunuchs!, exclusively on vinyl, and marks the first
major critical milestone in Joyner's lauded career. John Peel famously
played it in its entirety on his BBC radio program and Joyner's
underground cult status was solidified; in all of John Peel's years in
radio he had only played a record in its entirety one other time."

Two questions:

1) Is the info above accurate? If so, does anyone know the date when
presumably John played the record in its entirety?(an upload of the
tape would be nice... Andrew, where art thou???)

2. What was that *other* record played by John in its entirety? 
"Tubular Bells"?

Thanks!
