Comments

• Start of show: "No question about that, and a nice rowdy record anyway to get us underway."
• John does a Dave Lee Travis and plays his chair, the noisiest he thinks he's ever had.
• A final decision is made to run two Festive Fifties, "and if it doesn't work out, we'll end up by doing neither of them".
• The Peelenium features an unprecedented 10 tracks, and JP reveals that he was one of the few people to like the Rolling Stones LP featured in it.
• Ella Mae Morse died on October 16 and Peel plays one of her hits in tribute.

Sessions

• Tram, #2. Recorded 1999-09-05. No known commercial release.
