Tracklisting[]

File a starts

Andy Kershaw: "Any of that 'new music' tonight, John?"
JP: "I've got more of the new music on the new One FM, as a matter of fact Andy. In fact here's some of that new music now."
JP: "That's one of those records that play from the middle outwards, which is the sort of gimmick that delights me."
JP: "Well if you were watching this afternoon's match you may imagine that that was about John Barnes [1] but I don't think so - George Best, wasn't it? Or Len Shackleton or Stan Mortensen or Stanley Matthews or someone..." [2]
Jingle by the Peel children: "Play us a noisy record, Daddy."
JP: "That's another one that plays from the middle outwards... There used to be, back in the 1920s, a record label - I don't know why I tell you this and I'm sure you're not interested in it at all - there was a record label, 78s obviously and all of the releases actually played from the middle outwards. At one time I decided I would try and collect them all. I got three, I think, and then gave it up, sensibly enough."
JP: "That's the Jive Five, and how wonderful to have made a record as good as that."
JP: "It's Monday by the way. Actually it's been Monday for about twelve and a half minutes now."
  • (tape flip into file 3)
  • Marcoesh: Love And Death (Minimum Mix) (12")

(Plays this at 33 rpm at first, as per the label, then realises it should be played at 45 rpm)

  • Zeni Geva: Total Castration (CD - Total Castration) Public Bath
JP: "Andy Kershaw played a track from the TPOK Jazz earlier this evening on One FM and here's another track from the same LP."
JP: "What does medical science do about catarrh, cos it's a disgusting thing. You have that snot draining down the back of your throat all the time, there's nothing you can do about it cos all of the medicines that you can take, they say 'do not operate machinery or drive cars 'cos it will make you drowsy' and I'm making a mess of operating the machinery as it is, without having taken the medicine. But anyway, the show must go on eh!"
  • Exposure: Our Worlds (12") Stealth
  • Sultans Of Ping FC: Kick Me With Your Leather Boots (session)
  • (edit)
  • John Fahey: 101 Is A Hard Road To Travel (LP - The Transfiguration Of Blind Joe Death) Riverboat

Footnotes
  1. Liverpool had beaten Aston Villa 1-0 in the quarter final of the FA Cup that afternoon at Anfield.
  2. Sultans Of Ping FC were reputed to be Nottingham Forest fans. 'Give Him A Ball And A Yard Of Grass' contains a number of Brian Clough quotes and the subject of the song is likely to be Nigel Clough (although some believe it may be John Robertson).
