Mark Ellen, in his tribute to Peel for Word magazine (reprinted in an edited version in the booklet of the 2005 CD compiation John Peel - A Tribute, notes that the Peel show was "the first - possibly only - place you would have heard Fat Mattress or Bogshed or Foreheads In A Fishtank". While Fat Mattress did pick up some airplay elsewhere and lasted long enough to produce two albums, the band were only moderately successful and split up in 1970.
