Comments

Peel has returned from a family holiday in Watergate Bay, Newquay. He comments, "almost went to see Bruno Brookes and the Radio One Roadshow in Newquay. Unfortunately the car broke down on the way to the thing, water in the tank, one of those things. Sixty quid to have the tank taken out and everything cleaned and put back in again. I've not had a lot of luck with cars over the years and it's beginning to get on my nerves to the point where I think I'm going to have to sell some of my records in order to get it all sorted out, because my current car, somebody drove it through a deep puddle while I was away. The engine seized up. They said something like, "four grand for a new engine". Thanks very much! Great."
At one point, session guests Laugh included future Fall drummer Spencer Birtwhistle and Smiths guitarist Craig Gannon. The latter had departed by the time of this session though.

Tracklisting

JP: "Howdy pals, the wing ding is back live, well as live as it ever gets. Your Uncle John has a pretty tan and tennis elbow and the programme has sessions by Laugh and Loop. As always, a first with the useful advice."

Chumbawamba: 'Knit Your Own Balaclava' (LP 'Mindless Slaughter') Anhrefn
Laugh: 'Time To Lose It' (Peel Session)
Márta Sebestyén: 'Vetettem Violát' (LP 'Muzsikas') Hannibal
Matt Black & The Coldcut Crew: 'The Music Maker' (12") Ahead Of Our Time
Loop: 'Rocket USA' (Peel Session)
Riff Raff: 'Every Girl' (Single) Geezer
Topp Twins: 'Country Music' ( )

JP: "And in case this program is starting to sound like an Andy Kershaw program ...."

Salif Keita: 'Souareba' (LP 'Soro') Sterns
Laugh: 'Interlove' (Peel Session)
Bobby Byrd: 'I Know You Got Soul' (7") Mojo
Loop: 'Straight To Your Heart' (Peel Session)

JP: "Apologies for something like the third or fourth time for the extraordinary confusion prior to that. It's a bit embarrassing really. As regular listeners will know I've never been terrific with the technology but usually I get it right, by and large, unless I actually stop and think about it. It's a bit like driving a car, I suppose. If you stop and think which of these pedals is the brake by that time of course [hits palm with fist] it's too late, you just do it automatically. So I was sitting here thinking - I've only been away a week - which of these buttons do I press, I simply couldn't work it out. Anyway, I think we've got it all sorted out now."

JP: "There used to be in America a record label called Imperial Records. And who used to record for them? Amongst others, Fats Domino."

Fats Domino: 'When My Dreamboat Comes Home' ( ) Imperial

Shonen Knife: title not given (8" LP 'Burning Farm') Zero
Loop: 'Soundhead' (Peel Session)

JP: "I've just been told that, there's a department here within the BBC called Sound Archives and this programme is being recorded for Sound Archives which is not good news at all. What it means of course is they take the tapes of the programme and they put them in a kind of lead lined case and lower them into a deserted mineshaft somewhere in an undisclosed location somewhere in Britain, I think. What it really means of course is that I'm going to have to go and find the bloke after the programme and try and buy the tapes from him."

Mr. X & Mr. Z: 'Kick It Wicked' (12" 'Mr. X & Mr. Z Drink Old Gold') City Beat
