At AROUND AND AROUND: Dandelion was John Peel and Clive Selwood’s short-lived 1969 to 1972 record label, named after Peel’s hamster. John Peel was an icon at the time, but displayed a remarkable lack of acumen in choosing artists for his label. It’s quite a story, full of acerbic quotes from co-owner Clive Selwood on the artists.

Very interesting article on Dandelion. Thanks Peter. Yes I for one was no fan of John Peel in his early days. I’m not surprised that many professional musicians thought little of him. He got better, probably through listening to more proper music, and he got wittier as he got older too I thought.
Great article. ________________________________
