[peel] RE: April 1984 Mixtapes - Part 2

[MARK LUETCHFORD]

there was a recent profile around the time of the recent anniversary of tubular bells release when Branson said as  much about Peel being responsible fro the success of tubular bells and thus his whole success - if only he had known the consequences  I am sure he would have snapped the record in two  ... rather than playing it all the way through - although didn't we in fact get to the end of that mystery recently:

Pretty much. But imagine, without Oldfield, they could just have been a slightly more popular Dandelion...

That's better. Wasn't Peel largely responsible (or 'to blame'?) for the early success of Virgin?
