(JP: 'What an awe-inspiring record that is!...Now that I've sort of got the contacts there, I shall be able to get records like that on a fairly regular basis.

(JP: 'If you want to send in a letter at all, Christmas presents, the usual stuff, I don't mind, John Peel, BFBS, PO Box 1234, London W2 1LA. Very hesitant: if you can make something out of that, good luck to you.')
(JP: 'That's the end of this week's edition of John Peel's Music On BFBS. Thanks very much for listening, I hope you'll join me again next week. Until then, goodbye.')
↑Gedge's introduction, "This is a William Shatner number," may need some explanation. It was written by James Kirk (Shatner's character in Star Trek), a member of Orange Juice.
↑A Cantonese version of Madonna's Material Girl, which includes the altered (in every sense of the word) lyrics, "I get the itches when the temperature rises / The weather situation gets worse and worse / And my body explodes at 200 degrees." Apparently.
