Comments

• Start of show: "A bonny start for bubbling brunette John Walters. I particularly liked the rapping with Overlord X and indeed the rapping by Overlord X. Our sessions come, as Walters said, from the Funky Ginger and My Bloody Valentine. And if you heard him you'll know he played a new tune from the Fall and said that I'd play another one. This is it."
• Two played from the Public Enemy LP 'It Takes A Nation Of Millions' and three from new Strange Fruit releases.
• Peel looks forward to a West country trip over the weekend for a couple of gigs. After the show on this evening, he is heading out to see the Pixies.

All this starts fairly early in the day, I think, but my contribution at about 8 o'clock in the evening. So that's in Totnes on Saturday - a wide range of entertainments.")
