Amazing. Member of Grateful Dead paid for early recordings of Brian.

A long time ago (in a distant galaxy etc .. but let's say late 1980's / early 1990's)
We had cablelink that was piped TV and also Radio so we had the BBC stuff ..
BBC-Radio-3 pushed
Havergal Brian -- Gothic Symphony
Sorabji -- Perfumed Garden. (Solo piano).
Eventually both were available on CD.
I quite like Sorabji but find Brian just OK. But maybe should listen to him again.

I remember that, and even took it for granted. A really good FM signal if a bit digital.
