Lord Lucan is Missing, one of the iconic tracks of the punk era, was released in 1978 by Brighton punk band The Dodgems. Part of the Vaultage 78 compilation, it was well received by those in the know, including John Peel who invited the band to record a session for his Radio 1 show. The session became one of Peel's favourites and continued to be dusted down and given a spin every so often over the next 25 years.

  • "Vaultage '78, Two Sides of Brighton" is a great compilation album.

  • I saw the Dodgems lots in Brighton. This was a classic song and deserved better recognition. We used to joke about the Dodgems as they were relatively old so they earnt the tag OAP Rock.

  • Absolutely fab, check my page for Elvis is Dead

  • also if anybody is interested my label 12 apostles records released a 12" with 4 remixes of one of the greatest songs of all time - yes i heard it on peel first

  • remember it from John Peel too - great

  • yeah i remember this from john peel been looking for it for 30 years

  • @themasterswitch Ace upload. The bit in the middle where he keeps repeating 'I don't know' reminds me of the ending of The Bewlay Brothers by David Bowie. First heard this as a cover by The Auteurs in 1997, their songwriter Luke Haines has a big thing for the Lucan scandal. Still bloody odd.

  • dear john peel used to play this.
