 * Comments
 * Start of show: "Hello again, dwellers without the walls of the city, it's another John Peel's Music On BFBS, by test the best, and in the tradition that you always start a radio programme with something jolly, er, we're going to go in the other direction, this week at least."
 * Incomplete: first 50 minutes only.
 * John complains about the state of music in both England and the USA. The Uk's music is dull, and he rarely plays rap because it's so awful. The case in point is the Jungle Brothers LP, which he says deteriorates by track three (the touching and emotive ballad 'My Jimmy Weighs A Ton') into "below the waist" material.

Sessions

 * None

Tracklisting

 * Palace Brothers: 'King Me (CD-There Is No-One What Will Take Care Of You)' (Big Cat UK)

 * (JP: 'I was nine years old when that was recorded. I wish I'd been there.')


 * Madder Rose: 'Waiting For Engines (CD-Bring It Down)' (Seed)
 * (JP: 'It's a curious thing, but I was just checking the list last night of the bands that are recording sessions for my domestic programmes, and eight out of the next ten are from the United States of America, and this has never happened before. And I do think that British music is really terribly dull. It's going through a really bad period at the moment. It won't go on forever, one hopes, but at the same time, I'm not sure why it is really, but people seem to be reluctant to do anything that they've not done many times before, which brings us to a new single from the Jesus And Mary Chain, which in spite of what I've just said, I rather like.')

 * (JP: 'Frankly, though, facts have to be faced. Language has become so arcane in the...what's the word I'm looking for? (snaps fingers)...jargon! that's the word I'm looking for...that you simply don't know what any of these things are about anyway. I mean, that could be about front bottoms as well, for all I know.')
