Tracklisting

JP: "Good evening to you, rampsmen[2] and blowers[3] . You'll have to look that up, that's for sure. On tonight's program, if you care for the 2 Tone bands, well past and present that is, you're in for a bit of a treat..."
JP: "I was driving in this evening listening to a Scientific programme on Radio 4 ... and they were trailing a programme later in the week where they were saying that Scientists have discovered that certain individuals can function without brains and you can get living proof of this tomorrow morning between 7 and 9. Just kidding Dave of course."
JP: "That was The Specials 'Gangsters'. The record of it - one of those records that really changes your life, I mean it actually does, rather like I suppose The Damned's first single, where you wake up the next day and nothing's ever really quite the same again. It that too much to say that? I actually believe that, and when I've stopped feeling like that about records, I suppose it's time to stop doing these programmes - cries of 'YES' from all over the country!"
John reads last verse of John Peel by 'John' Woodcock Graves a listener has sent in. JP: "I'm not entirely certain this is suitable for a family audience, I'll read it to you - Then here's to John Peel, With my heart and soul. Come fill, fill to him, A brimming bowl. For we'll follow John Peel, Thro fair or thro foul. While we're waked by his horn, In the morning."[4]
  • Madness: Land Of Hope And Glory (Session)
JP: "And this next is frankly a record I don't know how you can get hold of."
JP: "I should warn you correspondents, that people who address me as 'Supermousse' find that their letters go straight in the shredder."[5]
JP: "This is Frank Zappa, and it's a long time since we played anything by him."
JP: "... I spent a lot of time over the weekend listening to new records, great wealth of new LPs, most of them quite frightful... so much so that I put this on to clear my head. These are The Fall, live, Fiery Jack."
JP: "Young Marble Giants from cuddly old Cardiff, or somewhere like that and that's... don't write to me and say 'there is nowhere like Cardiff', I don't care."
  • Beat: Mirror In The Bathroom (Session)
  • [closing music] Grinderswitch:Pickin' the Blues (Macon Tracks) Capricorn Records
JP: "On tomorrow nights show Wah Heat and The Passions. Tonight you heard, well you know what you heard, you don't really need to be told do you? Don't forget I shall be playing the new single from The Slits and both sides of the forthcoming single from Joy Division too. Goodnight. I said goodnight! Don't hang about."
  • BBC Radio News: Headlines read by Patrick Lunt;
PL: "Denis Healey has said Roy Jenkins' plans for a new centre party are absolute bunk."
"The Defence Secretary[6] has said there is no danger of a Nuclear War being started by computer error."
"A yachtsman in the Observer Trans-Atlantic race has had to be rescued by helicopter."
