John Peel's first thoughts:
"Those are The Smiths, and they've had one or two rather extravagant write-ups in the musical papers, and the people at Rough Trade see them as being the next big thing as well. Perfectly adequate, that, as a debut single, I think it's called Hand In Glove, but on the evidence of that, I can't see them as being that startling, there are better things around, assuredly."
17 days later, they recorded this.

May be wrong but something inside my full sponge of a brain tells me that John Peel rated this as his favourite single of all time?

Some fantastic stuff on here but I draw the line at Van Der Graaf Generator [emoji4]
Can’t post this on Tapatalk but my favourite has to be an Inspiral Carpets session in the late 80s.
Clint Boon on Keep the Circle Round just blew me away

For some strange reason this band was mocked a few years later. This Peel session is sublime.

Another group mocked at the time (by the NME, apparently, I had long since given up reading that). I stuck this on in my mate's car, a mate who had heard everything. And we just sat their parked up, mesmorized.

Icy Gull and HWT confirm JP named the fantastic Teenage Kicks as his favourite ever single - his favourite album is from a different genre altogether to other songs on this thread. I’m pretty sure it was Not The Tremblin’ Kind by the wonderful Laura Cantrell who did several sessions for him in the early 2000s. I could be wrong of course but he definitely said it was. I’m often wrong mind - I’m going toSheffield on Saturday full of hope and expectation!!
