  • In 1978 Peter Powell sent Peel in tears when he heard him play his copy of the Undertones Teenage Kicks on BBC Radio One, whilst stuck in traffic on the M6 motorway to a football match. In an interview with the Guardian in 2001, Peel described the emotion: "The first time I cried was when, stuck in traffic on the M6 near Stoke-on-Trent on my way to the football, I heard Peter Powell play my copy of the EP on Radio 1. I had written "Peter. This is the one" on the inner sleeve. To my alarm, I found myself weeping uncontrollably and I still can't play Teenage Kicks without segueing another track in afterwards to give myself time to regain composure."[1] Relations with Powell went downhill from the 80s, as indicated by Peel in an interview with Teddy Jamieson of the Scottish Herald in the spring of 2004: "Peter Powell was a dick, I'm afraid. It was Peter who came to me and told me that I shouldn't be playing hip-hop when I first started playing that because it was the music of black criminals."[2]
