Tracklisting

 * (JP: 'Music loving John Peel here with you for the next four hours here on Radio 1....Quite a few of the bands that you'll hear in the next four hours would have been in that Scottish chart that you heard about on Newsbeat. We've also got Pavement playing live, well, not exactly live, but it was live when it was done originally, and most entertaining it is too, about twenty minutes of that will crop up at some stage in the programme, and also a sort of Festive 51 (sic). In addition to that, several of the records in the programme, quite a few of them in fact, have been selected by you, the listener.')


 * Velocette: 'Get Yourself Together (CD single)' (Wiiija) Paul McCarthy (listener from Burton-On-Trent)
 * (JP: 'We don't really bother on the programme that I do normally with kind of exclusives, although if they come our way we're always grateful for them, and about the biggest exclusive we had during the year was this.')


 * Pulp: 'Help The Aged (CD single)' (Island) Simon (listener from Liverpool)
 * (JP: 'It's amazing the number of people I've met in the past few months who've said, "I've always been into Cornershop since 1974."')


 * Cornershop: 'Sleep On The Left Side (CD-When I Was Born For The 7th Time)' (Wiiija) Andrew Marston (listener from Cornwall)
 * (JP: 'My daughter Flssie's rather keen on this, and shockingly all of my children's favourite records of the year will be coming up later in the programme as well. Grotesquely self-indulgent, I'd say.')


 * Underworld: 'Moaner (Soundtrack CD-Batman & Robin: Music From And Inspired By The "Batman & Robin" Motion Picture)' (Warner Bros) David Mill (listener from Glasgow)
