This LP gained a lot of exposure from John Peel, who featured many of the artists in session on his BBC radio show. The follwing is from Ian A. Anderson, quoted in Ken Garner's In Session Tonight (BBC, 1993, p. 48): ' Mike Cooper and I had suggested Gef Lucena of Saydisc in Bristol start a blues label called Matchbox, and when its first compilation LP Blues Like Showers of Rain came out in July 1968, everything went silly…John Peel, then as now, the first to spot something good happening at the roots, played it every week on Night Ride and had most of the artists guesting.'
