 * Comments
 * Intro:
 * Peel: ”I always console myself when it comes to exams by thinking if I’d passed all the exams I took I could now be an accountant in Elsmere Port. And I think I’m having a better time than that, by and large.”
 * Raves about the Marc Smith record that had been played for the first time the previous night and would subsequently appear on Peel’s ‘Fabriclive.07’ compilation. Meanwhile, the Elmore James classic immediately played before it, and also raved over, would turn up again on the ‘John Peel: A Tribute’ album, having already been a 1951 choice for The Peelenium.
 * Both session bands on SL Records. Listener emails about the “decidedly average” NME review of ballboy album that week. JP: “But that’s a magazine that thinks Slipknot matters, do you know what I mean, so I shouldn’t pay too much attention to that.”
