Comments

  • Guana Batz do a cover of Roy Orbison's You're My Baby.
  • Peel mentioned over the weekend not hearing any new records at Peel Acres.
  • Peel mentions playing a gig on the Royal Iris ferry on Thursday night and plays a record from the Mighty Wah! who weren't there.
  • Peel reads a letter from a listener named Simon asking him what pop group he had forgot when presenting Top Of The Pops in 1968, Peel reveals it was Amen Corner.
  • Peel dedicates a record to the young women outside the BBC Broadcasting House who came to ask him about records rather than seeing Gary Davies. The record he dedicates is called Honeymoon and is from Bob Hope To Die. The song has a wrong speed moment before Peel corrects it.

(JP: 'The first coming up the Passmore Sisters, I bet they're all sitting down near their radios all excited, actually they're probably not, they're probably around the pub')
(JP: 'Another postcard from Billy Bragg, this time from Anchorage, he does get around that lad I must say, it says Dear John, New York, London, Paris, Anchorage, everybody's talking about pop music, Billy Bragg, they're getting shorter his postcards, this is a bad sign you know')
