Selwood met and became friends with John Peel while promoting Elektra Records in 1967, because Peel, at the time working for the offshore pirate radio station Radio London, was the only DJ in Europe playing the records Elektra had released in the UK. This encouraged Selwood to send the label's new releases to Peel, who would play them on his Perfumed Garden programme - in a piece in Gandalf's Garden magazine, recalling his life as a pirate DJ, among Peel's recollections is that "Clive sent me the new Doors single".
