The complete singles collection of the late and legendary DJ John Peel's beloved
Dandelion Records, compiled and brought to you for the very first time by Cherry
Red Records. This fantastic 3 CD box set features a 48 page booklet containing
the story of Dandelion with original artwork, images, memorabilia and
heart-warming, revealing contributions from Clive Selwood and the artistes
themselves. In 1969, in the face of the entrenched attitudes of most of the
major record companies, the late and legendary DJ John Peel launched his own
record label with manager Clive Selwood called Dandelion. They would oversee 18
acts release 27 albums plus a sampler compilation before the label was brought
to a close in 1972. They also released a similar number of singles, compiled
here for the very first time by Cherry Red Records. Lovingly restored and
beautifully packaged, with contributions from the artistes and Clive Selwood
himself, this wonderful 3 CD Box Set will astound many and bring joy to
collectors and John's listeners and fans alike.
"I read somewhere that John said something to the effect that he didn't
really discover anyone - that artists discover themselves, and he just played
their music. Well yes, we discover ourselves at home, but it took John to allow
others to discover so many of us and certainly he, and Dandelion, are in huge
part responsible for anyone discovering me! I can only say and continue to say
thank you." Bridget St.John, New York 2006
"Forty years on it is impossible to describe the impact that John Peel had on
the British music and broadcasting scene. My one and only regret is that the man
is no longer with us to treasure this collection." Clive Selwood, West Sussex
2006.
"John and Clive certainly swam against the tide, but they didn't change horses
just for comfort. They continued with their vision, the road John took until the
end." John Fiddler (Medicine Head) 2006.
