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

Thanks for this!
Viv died in 1995 btw
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)
Can you reupload all the Viv Stanshall Sessions? Thanks in advance!
