Viv Stanshall - 27th October 1975

Timeless eccentric Viv Stanshall entertained listeners for years on the Peel program with his periodical saga "Sir Henry At Rawlinson End". I was listening to some of these sessions the other day and I don't think these recording have ever seen a commercial release which is a pity.
Viv tragically died after a fire at his flat in 1985. He was an undisputed genius who never got the recognition he deserved for some fantastic work.
This is the earliest session I have, but there are plenty more to come.

1. The Unbridled Suite
2. In The Final Analysis
3. Aunt Florrie Remembers (From Giant Whelks At Rawlinson End) Part 21

You are a star! I have been searching for these sessions for ages - can't wait for the next one ... (or 'dot dot dot', as Viv would say)
