As someone has already pointed out, this is indeed the Orb, with Dr Paterson on shouty vocals. I remember when this was first broadcast. I had my tape recording for the version of o.o.b.e when it suddenly burst into No Fun. I'm thinking this can't be the Orb can it? But Peel never segues into session tracks, he lets them stand alone. I'm glad I didn't turn that tape off, by the time it got all dubby and echoed towards the end I was convinced it was the Orb playing a litle joke. And so it turned to be. Hooray! Cheers Andrew C.

Joke, yes. Patterson on vocals, I don't think so. Sounds like the Sex Pistols to me, vocals courtesy of Mr. J. Rotten. -- Mark Turner mturner@netcom.com

It may sound like the Sex Pistols, but thats not exactly hard to do, is it? I definitly read somewhere (NME?) that Alex sung on this track. Anyone know for sure? Cheers Andrew C.
