John Peel's Record Collection: "V is For Van der Graaf Generator" video (With Peter Hammill Interview)

"He was one of the very first people to give us any sort of attention at all, way way back in '67 when we first met him. He championed almost anybody who was outside of things; he was a man who remarkably for someone on that side, dj/journalist side; retained his enthusiasm, absolutely to the end and particularly for more abstract things, and the whole of British music owes him a great debt to be honest." Peter Hammill from a Greek radio Interview, November 2010. MP3
