| abstract | - Peel discovered the band through the Too Pure record label and played tracks from their first single called Butterbelly. When the group joined with one of Peel's all time favourite singers, Mark E. Smith on "The Heads Of Dead Surfers" single, Peel immediately fell in love with the track. However Peel mentioned on his 30 December 1995 (BFBS) show that he would still have played the track, even if Mark E. Smith wasn't there: "I think I would have played that record even if it hadn't had Mark E. Smith on it: of course, having him on there makes all the difference." After 1995, Peel rarely played tracks from subsequent material from Long Fin Killie, but did vote the "Heads Of Dead Surfers" as his Peelenium for 1995.
