Roxy apparently also came close to joining Peel's Dandelion label before eventually signing with Island.[2] On his album "Taxi", released in 1993, Ferry included a sample of Peel's voice saying "cheers" during the start of his cover of Fontella Bass' hit "Rescue Me".

| - Peel played a session by Roxy Music (with former Nice guitar player Dave O'List instead of Phil Manzanera) before the band actually released an album - after Brian Ferry gave a demo tape to fellow Geordie John Walters [1] and Peel attended a gig the band played with Genesis in Wimbledon (see Gigography 1971). Roxy apparently also came close to joining Peel's Dandelion label before eventually signing with Island.[2] On 11 August 1976 Peel broadcast a Roxy Music retrospective. Although a fan in their early years, Peel's interest in the group mellowed (in 1977 he called an early live performance from 1972 somewhat weak). He still seemed to respect them, however, unlike some other acts that he initially championed, and continued to play their music from time to time. He also seemed to remain on quite good terms with Bryan Ferry, with Ferry sending him Christmas wishes quite regularly. Bryan also declared himself "devastated" whenever Peel gave him a bad review: for example, on 11 May 1977 JP averred that Roxy's session version of Virginia Plain was "a million miles from Tokyo Joe" (at the time a number 15 UK chart hit for Ferry). On his album "Taxi", released in 1993, Ferry included a sample of Peel's voice saying "cheers" during the start of his cover of Fontella Bass' hit "Rescue Me".
