10 December 1993

Show

 * Name
 * John Peel Show


 * Station
 * BBC Radio One


 * YYYY-MM-DD
 * 1993-12-10


 * Comments
 * Frank Zappa had died on 4th December, and Peel presents "four tracks chosen almost at random from (his) catalogue." The taper did not record John's introduction to them (and only the ending of the last), but recalls he was quite upset.
 * John previews the upcoming Festive Fifty (25 December 1993) and ponders the logistics of getting fifty records into 210 minutes.

Sessions

 * God Is My Co-Pilot, #1 (rpt). Recorded 1993-06-03. No known commercial release.
 * Cords, one and only session (rpt). Recorded 1993-06-22. No known commercial release. John seems to be under the impression that this is their second: he says, "Sounding a lot more muscular than they did on the first session they recorded for the programme."
 * The next night's show was to have featured a new Fall session, but this was put back (for 'technical reasons') to 05 February 1994.

 * (JP: 'As I may have mentioned to you before, I do these programmes that are heard in Germany, and on them over the years I've enthused so much about Zimbabwe, both as a place and about Zimbabwean music as well, that at least a dozen, to my knowledge, Germans have gone there for their holidays, and they've all written to me and said, "You're absolutely right: it's a wonderful place to go and visit." And some of them have sent me some records that they've bought, and these came from a chap in Hanover, three LPs he sent me, and every one a real winner.')
