Comments

• John Peel's first show on Dutch radio station VPRO
• Start of Peel's show with an unidentified announcer saying: 'And here he is, live from London, Mr John Peel'
• Peel starts speaking: "Hello chums, this wildly inappropriate music is by Ike Turner and I'm going use it as a theme tune until I get fed up with it and I've been doing radio programmes since you were up at the last tour I say. I'm very very nervous about doing this one. One thing I will tell you though that I don't talk too much on the radio and I just want to play you some good records."
