Peter Cushing - No White Peaks (Ravers Anthem)
(No White Peaks 12" Single, 1991)
You can call it a coincidence, but stumbling upon a rare oddity recorded by the G.O.A.T. Van Helsing, the very weekend which celebrates the centenary of the grand daddy of horror movies, feels like some preordained fate to me.
Originally penned by poet and lyricist, Peter Kayne, No White Peaks was inspired by his experience of seeing wounded servicemen from the Vietnam War, while touring at a military base in Suffolk.
Peter Cushing recorded a sombre version of No White Peaks in 1991, which eventually wound up getting the remix treatment. Sounding pretty much like a discarded track on an old floppy disk left behind by Orbital, I can't say I'm a fan of the tune myself, but as far as novelties from yesteryear go, it's better than that techno song with bagpipes my mate Techno Terry would blast out while off his face.

Elton John's only good outfit was the one he wore on Soul Train. The O.G Leprechaun-n-the-Hood.
Reg took it to another level. Even out did the guy in the gi doing the robot.
