Show

 * Name
 * John Peel Show


 * Station
 * BBC Radio One


 * YYYY-MM-DD
 * 1986-12-30


 * Comments
 * Final part of the 1986 Festive Fifty along with the last of the year's best sessions.
 * Peel admits that #28 in the F50 should have been the Wedding Present's 'You Should Always Keep In Touch With Your Friends', the B-side of 'This Boy Can Wait' 7" (#15). Due to a mispressing that had the A side on both sides, he'd played 'This Boy Can Wait' instead and not noticed.
 * Peel has acquired some Finnish music and can't wait to play it when his regular shows start again the following week. He declares that it's the "best guitar record I've heard in a decade" but teasingly doesn't give the name of the artist.
