 * Comments
 * Start of show: "Five minutes ago, this studio was filled with people, now they've all made their excuses and left. Now what does this mean? It means, I'm afraid, that it's the John Peel wingding on Radio 1, and tonight a debut session from Death By Milkfloat, and a repeat of our session from Cud. To start the programnme, though, this is not Elvis Presley."

Tracklisting

 * (News at 10.00 p.m.: death of Rudolf Hess)
 * Ral Donner: 'Girl Of My Best Friend (7")' (Gone)
 * (JP: 'I was actually going to lace the programme with Elvis soundalikes, but frankly couldn't be bothered, and I couldn't find half the records anyway. That's the kind of chaos that things are in at home.')

 * (JP: 'I don't watch very much television. This is largely due to the fact that my children watch it most of the time anyway, and every programme that they watch is their favourite, so if I come and say, "Actually, I want to watch something on the other side," it's, "Oh come on Dad, this is our favourite programme!" It might be something like the testcard or something, but it's their favourite programme, so I don;t get to see what's on.')


 * Premi: 'Jago Aya'
 * Culture Shock: 'Ten Percent Off (LP-Go Wild)' (Bluurg)
