 * Comments
 * (K) Found this one, unlabelled, in my recent clearout of some old shoeboxes. The first part of this one is familiar from the 17-DVD Torrent, but I can now present you with the complete show, and in slightly better quality I think.
 * So listeners may be familiar with Peel's talk of what the family had done for William's 15th Birthday earlier that Saturday 12th January. Incidentally, according to the normally reliable memories of my friend Stewart Cruickshank, the show 15 years earlier on the night after William was born - Monday 12th January 1976, complete with a session by Andy Fairweather-Low - included Peel overwhelmed by fatherhood, Stewart recalls. so let's hope that one turns up sometime.
 * But in 1991 it was a timely show for other reasons. The US Congress had voted that afternoon approving military action by the armies assembled in Saudi Arabia to remove Saddam Hussein's Iraqi invasion force from Kuwait, and the air war began three days later. So to start with Prince Far-I's No More War was prescient. I think I may have kept this one because it seemed momentous (were we all about to die?), and I always like Robert Lloyd's stuff. Hope you agree.
 * Intro: "Hello, legions of music-lovers, and welcome to the Kat's Karavan. 'Tomorrow's hits today' is our motto."
 * Says Andy Kershaw phoned him up to say he was looking forward to hearing a record by a band with a name as good as Rats Of Unusual Size.
 * Plays Jessie Mathews track after seeing the second half of the medley on an old black and white film he saw on daytime TV. Says if he were an entrepreneur he would start a TV channel showing only programmes in black and white - and lose lots of money.
