John Peel: Peel And The Pig — An Everyday Story Of Country Folk
Andrew Tyler, Disc and Music Echo, 17 February 1973
JOHN PEEL is a sensitive figure with a sturdy patch on the crotch of his jeans and a tendency towards schoolgirls and sensible underwear. A couple of years ago it was fabulously trendy to be John Peel and he remembers feeling obliged to take care of two or three desperately beautiful creatures a night at his Kensington flat.
