Album Details The Late Great John Peel Always Had a Special Connection with the Town of Rochdale, Situated Just North of Manchester. In 1959-60, He Worked at a Cotton Mill There Before Leaving to Go to the USA. In 1970, after Receiving Tapes Through the Post from Rochdale Band Tractor, He Signed them to his Dandelion Records Label, Bought them Studio Equipment and a Stereo Pa System (Fairly Ground Breaking for a North West Band in the Early 1970's). Peelie Continued to have a Special Relationship to the Tractor People Right Up Until his Untimely Death, Always Plugging their Live Appearances and Tractor Releases and Any Rochdale Related Releases on his Radio Program. This CD Presents the Tracks that John Peel Signed Tractor on the Strength of in 1970, plus all the Tracks (A and B Sides) They Did as Singles and a 2006 Remix of a Song Specially Commissioned by Peel in 1972.

CD ReviewsTractor - 'John Peel Bought Us Studio Gear & A PA' (Ozit) Mike Reed | USA | 10/20/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This eighteen track 'John Peel Bought' collection is every bit as good as their other two compilation releases on the Ozit label, 'Before, During And After The Dandelion Years' and 'Worst Enemies' (see my reviews of both). Saw this title listed as a limited edition of [...] copies. Tunes I look forward to the most when I put this CD into my player are "King Dick II" (has an almost Sabbath-like guitar riff), the hip sounding "Squares" and couple of instrumentals - "Siderial" and "Madrigal". Was also impressed with the remix job on "John Peel's 13 Bar Boogie". Need to mention the memorable fuzz guitar on "Willow" as these were the cuts that led John Peel to officially sign Tractor on. Next nine songs here are hard-to-find singles, that (for the most part) I'm hearing for the very first time. Believe that most acoustic guitar fans would get a lot out of the stunningly beautiful "Stoney Glory" as well as the tripping "Marie", the rocking "Average Man's Hero" and the toe-tapping "Big Big Boy" which sort of reminds me of maybe Q65. Comes with eight trading cards + two full color informative inserts. Can't recommend this CD enough."
