 * Comments
 * John regales us not only with an LP he's brought back from his Cretan holiday, but also with an "impression" of the singing thereon.
 * He includes cover versions of Blue Oyster Cult, an old music-hall song which John claims to be old enough to remember, and Duran Duran, and it seems to be the beginning of the end of his admiration for the Sisters Of Mercy.
 * A listener enrages JP by telling him the first half of one of his BFBS programmes in Cologne was cancelled in favour of a concert by Camel, leading to a bit of shrieking from John and comments about "the ultimate indignity" and "a gang of clapped-out old hippies."
