My memory is that it was when Fluff was doing the show,
and I remember it being quite an unexpected endorsement. Memories are fallible though, so I could be mistaken. I'm still pretty sure it was Fluff and not Vance though.

Wikipedia's page on Fluff suggests I'm not going mad:
"[Freeman] returned to the BBC and Radio 1 in January 1989 to revive The Rock Show and Pick of the Pops. This run of Pick of the Pops ended on 27 December 1992 but he continued to host The Rock Show until 23 October 1993"

Just imagine 'Fluff' Freeman playing that track twice in a row,
purely because he liked it. Self-indulgent DJ wankery, sure, but it shows that he was still into harder-edged stuff even when he was your cuddly old radio grandad.
