 * Virtually the whole of the first half of the three-hour show is available. Many thanks to Lorcan's Tracklistings Archive for additional details to complete the full show tracklisting.

 * Session band Global Communication have just changed their name from Reload.
 * Peel is out in the corridor getting coffee when the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (repeated) session track “Red” unexpectedly ends two minutes early.
 * Linking the four tracks from Sonic Youth to Mike Hart: Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore played on the Backbeat soundtrack album, impersonating the Beatles in Hamburg, while the Roadrunners LP was recorded by a genuine Merseybeat combo at the German city’s Star Club, with band members including subsequent Dandelion solo artist Mike Hart.
 * Peel has also just run into Rick Saunders, who played guitar on the Hart LP, for the first time in 20 years in Calais.
 * Two tracks are played from the latest Fall EP and three (later in the show) from the 10" Pop Narcotic compilation "Why Do You Think They Call It Pop?".

 * (JP: "Mike Hart made an LP for Dandelion Records, which was the label I had at the end of the 1960s/beginning of the 1970s. Catastrophically unsuccessfully financially but artistically sound - not always I have to admit, but a lot of good stuff nonetheless, and few things better than this, which is a song called 'Artie's Wife'. Pay particular attention to the way he sings "She lives now in Belgium" and even more so "Reads a book on plastics". And I think "plastics" is delivered with more venom than any other single word in all of recorded popular music.")
