He was one of the original DJs of Radio 1 in 1967 and at the time of his death in 2004

and the occasional mistakes (such as playing records at the wrong speed) that marked his shows,

John Peel and The Sisters of Mercy

The Sisters of Mercy did three Radio One Sessions, two with John Peel in 1982 and 1984, and the other one in 1983 with David 'Kid' Jensen.

I Was A Teenage Sisters of Mercy Fan under Sisters Mysteries V – did Peel play Damage Done? as well as in this thread at The Heartland Forums.
