 * 42: Elastica, 'Line Up (CD single)' (Deceptive)

 * 41: Fal, 'M5' (Peel Session)
 * (JP: 'You must have been getting worried about the fact that there were no Fall records so far...There's the first ten put to bed, and still nothing from Suede, or Blur, or Oasis, but surely they must be coming along shortly.')

 * (JP: 'When I was a boy and growing up in Texas, we knew that as 'In The Pines', but everybody else calls it 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night', and so shall we on this occasion....Our Flossie can play that on the guitar, so I'll dedicate that to her.')
