Tracklisting

 * (JP: 'This is another golden rule about to be broken, cos I always said I'd never play a version of Hello Dolly on the radio, and also made one of those little mental notes to meself never to play a record that had got a flute on it. And then...')


 * Dinosaur Jr.: 'Thumb (LP-Green Mind)' (Blanco Y Negro)
 * (JP: 'While that was going on, I was discussing here in the studios other records or other types of records that I won't play, having broken two rules in the space of the last ten minutes, but anything that's got "rock'n'roll" in the title is out, no question about that at all, and that stems really I suppose from the fact that, well, I suspected prior to this that when people came on and said, "Hey, we're gonna rock'n'roll!", it meant that they weren't going to do anything of the sort, because to me rock'n'roll has a very specific meaning: things like Elvis Presley and Gene Vincent and Little Richard, and stuff like that. I've mentioned this before in the course of these programmes, but at one of these festivals, the Pink Pop Festivals in Holland, when Rush were playing...I can never remember the name of the fella who did the singing, I don't care anyway, but the high-pitched voice, he came on and he said (squeaky Stateside accent), "Hey Holland! You wanna rock'n'roll?", and the PA blew up at that moment. One of the great moments in music it was for me: unfortunately, they got it fixed and came back on again. And then another thing too...records, before they even start singing, it goes, "Yeah!", or even, "Whoo!" Out: no question of that ever being played on the radio.')


 * KLF: 'Make It Rain (LP-The White Room)' (KLF Communications)
 * Heavenly: 'Wish Me Gone (LP-Heavenly Vs. Satan)' (Sarah)
