[peel] John Peel's first show on VPRO

[Patrick Kimura-Macke]

I ordered Floating Anarchy from Amazon a few weeks ago.  I had been  
listening to one of the John Peel programmes that featured the Here  
And Now and liking them because of the Hillage like guitar. I did an  
Amazon search and ordered a couple of their CDs and Floating Anarchy  
was a recommendation. I didn't previously know it, so it got ordered  
too as well as the most recent I See You from last year.  I heard  
Gong on John's programmes back in 1975 and bought the Planet Gong LPs  
and eventually Shamal, Hillage's solo stuff etc. back then. My recent  
purchases show that the Peel Wiki generates sales!  I remember John  
playing Stanley Clarke back then too and I bought LPs by him too but  
none of those programmes have turned up yet it seems.

Meanwhile Daevid Allen's ashes have been taken into the Pacific at  
Byron Bay NSW by his four sons paddling surf boards earlier today.
