>Finally, coming soon on Sky Arts 1, Classic Albums: Phil Collins' Face Value

>It should be remembered that that Phil Collins was always a strong supporter
of Peel Anytime his show was under pressure from the BBC suits he could
be relied upon to write to the newspapers supporting Peel
A reporter once said to him 'but Peel doesn't play your 
records' Phil Collins
replied 'Nor should he. But he played us when we started and that's 
why he's essential'

The guy who runs ''awesome tapes from africa ''was on ravenscroft or freak zone chatting recently, funny story how one of the female singers he wanted to release stuff by pretended she was dead on the telephone and then later apologised to him when she realised later in another phone call that he was totally serious about releasing her stuff.
