 * Comments


 * Message from Peel Mailing List user ckitlee: "Here's another BFBS show I recorded before BFBS switched off in Hong Kong in 1997. As you'll notice from the file name, it is in mono. As I recall, reception of BFBS was rather poor then and very often the signal came in mono, or even if it is stereo, I would switch it to mono to reduce the noise. Moreover, I now know that all the background noise is the result of a badly received signal rather than a poor video tape machine as all the noise disappears in the blank tape following the programme. So you might have to bear with it as many of the programmes I've got have similar noise."
 * Start of show: "Hello my beauties, it's another John Peel's Music On BFBS."

Tracklisting

 * Number One Cup: 'Ease Back Down (CDS)' (Blue Rose Record Company)
 * Savas Pascalidis: 'Untitled (12"-Sugarland Express)' (Kurbel)
 * (JP: 'There's basketball on one of the television sets here in the BFBS studio. It's one of those things which I have to admit I simply can't see the appeal of it at all, and I suspect that Denis can't either. All that happens is that enormously tall people rush from one end of a gym to another, and nobody ever fails to score!, so you just kind of add up. I've never seen anybody miss in the course of these games: you just add up, two at a time, you stay pretty close to each other, and I don't know what the appeal of it is at all. Utterly bewildering to me.')


 * Melvins: 'Laughing With Lucifer At Satan's Sideshow (CD-Honky)' (Amphetamine Reptile)
 * Shy Guy Douglas: 'I'm Your Country Man (Compilation CD-No Jive: Authentic Southern Country Blues)' (Ace)
 * Shallow: 'I Wonder (Sonic Boom Remix #3) (7")' (Ochre)
 * (JP: 'The basketball has given way to ice hockey. Now this is a game that I can understand, especially when they get stuck into each other against the wall round the outside, which two people have just done. How either of them survived it and got up and skated away, I simply don't know. Here it is again in action replay: I wish you could see it, listeners. Good Lord! Aggravated assault that is to me. If you did that on the streets of Stowmarket on a Friday night, you'd be looking at a two-year sentence.')
 * ('This next is a little gem from 1978. I'd like to pretend that somebody had requested it: I could say, "This one's for Lance-Bombardier Johnson", I'd be making it up, let's be honest, but nevertheless, it's a record which is well worth hearing every once in a while.')


 * Galactic Symposium: 'YMCA (7")' (Vague)
 * (JP: '(They)'ve disappeared without trace, and who can blame them.')
