Comments
  • John Walters presents the show, whilst Peel, who has kidney stones, is ill. Some of the tracks on the show are what Peel would play, whilst others are mostly of Walters' choice.
  • Walters plays a track from Edith Massey covering the Four Seasons' Big Girls Don't Cry.
  • Walters mentions this month would be the release of the 50th Peel Session EP. He says the 48th - Extreme Noise Terror, 49th - Napalm Death and the 50th is The Cure.
  • Walters mentions seeing The Cure on Peel's behalf back in the day supporting Generation X in Croydon.
  • Walters plays a track from the Hard-Ons covering the Crystals' Then He Kissed Me under the title of Then I Kissed Her, which features their version filled with what he says maybe made up Arabic sounding words. In fact one word in the song, Manyak/Monyak is an Arabic swear word.
  • Walters plays a wrong track moment from the Pixies, where he was supposed to play Where Is My Mind?, but instead played Bone Machine.
  • The Yeah Yeah Noh track Jigsaw has a sample of Peel speaking.
  • Walters plays De Danann's folk version of the Beatles' Hey Jude.
  • Walters plays a soca record given to him by Robert Wyatt, by Flying Turkey, who is from the Caribbean island of Grenada.
