 * Comments
 * "A roaring start..."
 * (K) This was the show which featured the debut `freakout' session by Spiritualized, and several other scoops as well: three tracks from The Fall's new 12-inch; three tracks from the forthcoming new LP by P J Harvey `Dry'; three tracks from the new Pavement LP `Slanted and Enchanted'; three from The Meathooks; and a repeat of Leatherface's session.
 * Sipho Bhengu track was in the John Peel Singles Box, which held some of his personal favourites. This was found after his death and became the subject of a TV documentary.
 * Much more about this show and the recording of the Spiritualized session in chapter 1 of Ken Garner's now out of print In Session Tonight (1993). Extracts from the chapter area available in the file section of the Peel newgroup homepage. Many thanks to Ken for this. It's a brilliant read. Full updated story of the John Peel Show in his The Peel Sessions (London: BBC Books), 2007.
