Comments

The show starts with the lead track from the Inspiral Carpets' first full release. Graham Lambert recalled this as a landmark for the band in Jon Robb's "The North Will Rise Again" (pg 324): "We got the Planecrash EP to John Peel in July 1988 and he started his show with it. I was in Scotland with Karen when he played it. I tried to find a phone box in the pitch black and phone the band but couldn't get hold of them. From then on it changed. We had a session and he played every track several times. It felt like we were on our way."
