  • Start of show: “There you go, it was bound to end eventually. Well, it’s a big night on the programme tonight obviously. It’s Louise the producer’s birthday, Liverpool have had a good result in Rome, and there was one other thing. What was the other thing? I’ll remember it in a moment ... Oh, the Pig's in Milan of course.”
  • Peel says he remembers buying the evening's Pig's Big 78 when it came out in 1954. Sheila herself is in Milan for Ipswich's big match the following night. Her husband back in London says he may be overcome with emotion and unable to do his programme if Ipswich win.
  • A count has been made of that week's incoming records. The tally came to ninety 12" singles, 15 vinyl LPs, eight 10" singles, eighteen 7" singles, 111 CD singles, and 141 CD LPs.
  • The first Beefheart track is a request for Louis the producer’s birthday. Peel says this isn’t the track from Clear Spot he’d have chosen, which he says is well known to regular listeners and which he then plays (after a false start), with a bonus track to follow - “Fantastic, 29 years old and still laps ahead of the field!”
