The All-Time Festive Fifty Of 2000: Numbers 45-41

 * (JP: 'Time to return to the All-Tim Festive Fifty which, as I hinted in last night's programme, is sort of fairly predictable, I have to say. We're about to enter into the traditional aspect of it, I think, in tonight's programme, but so much so that I felt that I'd just do it five tracks at a time over ten nights, rather than try and cram it into two or three programmes.')


 * 45: Beatles, 'I Am The Walrus (LP-Magical Mystery Tour)' (Parlophone)
 * 44: Bob Dylan: 'Visions Of Johanna (LP-Blonde On Blonde)' (CBS)
 * (JP, on hearing that he has a listener in San Francisco): 'I think this whole Internet thing is just fantastic. As I've said so many times before, I love doing these programmes more than I've ever enjoyed doing them before, and I've always enjoyed doing it, but the Internet has made the crucial difference I think. The fact that Cathy can listen to these programmes in San Francisco and react to what's...going on is just amazing.')


 * 43: Nick Drake, 'Northern Sky (LP-Bryter Layter)' (Island)
 * (JP: 'And I often wonder what poor Nick would make of the respect in which his music's held now.
 * In 1967, during the late spring and early summer, I was working on the pirate radio ship Radio London, doing a late night programme called Perfumed Garden, and a mate of mine sent me a record from California, and I got it and listened to it in great astonishment, and played one of the tracks from it on the radio that night. When I played it, considerable...errrmmmm...well, I was going to say, "the shit hit the fan", but you can't say that on the radio. But it's what happened.')


 * 42: Velvet Underground, 'Heroin (LP-The Velvet Underground & Nico)' (MGM)
 * (JP: 'Let me tell you, nothing was ever quite the same again after playing that, it really wasn't.')


 * 41: Beach Boys, 'God Only Knows (LP-Pet Sounds)' (Capitol)
 * (JP: 'Actually, the Velvet Underground and Nico were playing in Hollywod when i was living in San Bernadino, California, as part of Andy Warhol's, wht's it called, 'Exploding Plastic Inevitable' I think, and they were playing at some partcularly trendy place. Being a chap wo's never been over-confident, I like to think, I went to go there, and just didn't have the nerve, so I went down the road to see the West Coast Pop Art Experimental band instead, which is something I thoroughly enjoyed, but I always regret that I never went in to see the Velvet Underground, cos they must have time and away been at their absolute peak, and certainly at their most astonishing. I think I once told somebody that I had gone in to see them, but it wasn't true. It's like Andy Kershaw claims that I told him I'd been to see Elmore James playing, because it was possible he did play in Dallas when I lived in Dallas, but I didn't go and see him, but again, I really wish I had done.')


 * Distorted Minds: 'Typecast (12 inch)' (Breakbeat Culture) §
 * Lucrecia Y Su Orquesta: 'Vence Ditalia (LP-No. 1 In Cuba)' §
