Comments

• Peel mentions that he won't be compiling the Festive Fifty, instead a girl school from the Home Counties would be doing it.
• Peel says he bought Ivor Cutler's Ludo record in 1967 from Woolworth second hand.
• Peel mentions the Moonflowers' 'Get Higher' record on the run out groove is so shocking he can't repeat it. He goes on to say that it went down particular well at a gig he did at Leicester Polytechnic on Friday night, but also mentions that the Quazar track he played cleared the floor.
• Peel plays both sides of The Fall's single where he plays the wrong speed of the Xmas With Simon track, before correcting it.
