File a
*From one of a small but select series of Peel compilations from Mark - John Peel - Fire Engines.
*Mark: "Lenny Henry in his Tiswas phase opens the show with a bizarre offering. Was this the start of a period when Peel asked a series of bands to record the Heaven 17 anti-fascist anthem … or is that an urban myth?"
