Pete Shelley

Today I received the Sides Of EP by Pete Shelley in the post and I just finished ripping it. I wanted to look for the cover online and see that Pete Shelley died today. A bit spooky.
Pete Shelley's Homosapien and XL1 are albums I will always treasure. I bought the cassette version of XL1 because of the extra dub mixes it offered (of course greatly helped by Martin Rushent also sadly missed).
I always felt Pete Shelley did not receive the recognition as a solo artist he deserved at the time and is now also mostly referred to as "from The Buzzcocks".
How do my fellow board members feel about Pete Shelley?
