CHANNEL 4 Vampire (1979 UK 2-track 7" vinyl single featuring the Scottish band's debut and only release, John Peel had this anecdote when he spun their record on his show on the 12/12/1979 - 'Last night when I came out of the studio and went down the stairs here at Broadcasting House, there were a couple of lads waiting for me from Edinburgh, and they brought me a copy of their debut record on their own Ripping Records label. The band seemed to be called Channel 4. And after they gaveme their record they went off to have a kip in their van, which was parked outside. And I was going to buy them breakfast this morning, but went to have a look at them at about 9 o'clock and they were still asleep in their sleeping bags in the van and I couldn't wake them, they looked so peaceful there. If they're listening, though, they'll be pleased to hear their record.'. Backed with Channel 4. The picture sleeve displays signs of ringwear, light edgewear and minor discolouration and, apart from a spindle pressing fault, the vinyl looks barely played, complete with original lyric insert).
