  • There is a competition in the show to win one of three copies of the limited 10" release of the Too Pure Peel Sessions LP on Strange Fruit. Rather than give the answer to a question, Peel instead invites listeners to send "something interesting" in an envelope.
  • A Peel spoonerism amusingly renders ragga producer Bally Sagoo as Sally Bagoo.

Sessions[]

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'Thanks Andy. You forgot to say, "have a good one, mate!") (said in a DJ Smashie and Nicey voice)
(AK: 'Have a good one, mate!')
(JP: 'That's more like it.')
(JP: 'PJ Harvey of course, and that's from the Peel Sessions LP. I've got three copies of that to give away in some kind of a competition. I've been trying to think of something for you to do. I was going to suggest that you all drew Sheelas-Na-Gig, if that's the plural of it, but that could be encouraging you to send lewd and offensive materials through Her Majesty's mails or some such thing, so I'll have to think of something else.')
(JP: 'I had a message delivered to me yesterday by PJ Harvey that Gallon Drunk wanted me to play a record by Duane Eddy. I don't suppose for a moment that they're listening, but should they be, I think they'll approve of this next record, although it's not actually by Duane Eddy.')
(JP: 'I was just hearing actually on the phone of jubilation at Portman Road, Ipswich, this afternoon - last match of the season, of course. Elements of my family were there, Sheila, my wife, and our Tom were there and took part in a pitch invasion which I think nobody seemed to object to... Pretty exciting stuff. I wish I'd been there myself to be perfectly honest.') [1]
(JP: ‘A mighty track indeed, and goodnight Pig.’)
(JP: 'Judging this session in the wake of the astonishments of 'Geek Love', I have to admit that I was a little disappointed with it the first time it went out, but it sounds a lot stronger tonight.')
(1:00 news)
(JP: 'And that’s become even more hellishly appropriate during the past few days.’) [2]
