 * Comments
 * In his introduction, Peel mentions Paul Morley's "uncharacteristically violent review" of the Cure's debut LP in the NME. This incited the band to record a response in the form of the session track 'Desperate Journalist In Ongoing Meaningful Review Situation', to the tune of 'Grinding Halt'.
 * He plays a track from the new LP by former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green "more out of loyalty than anything else."
