Comments
  • Peel asks listeners for a request from a listener wanting to know where the lyrics of "it was the hottest day of the year. Even still we started fires with the ember..." comes from, before playing a track from the J&M Crew. It turns out later that it came from the song The Backyard by Miracle Legion. He mentions that he would play the song next week on his programme, which he did.

Tracklisting[]

Start of show. JP - "Sorry Steve, too slow, too long". John's first track turns out to be too slow and too short....
(JP: 'Clearlake, who were playing at the Royal Festival Hall last weekend along with the Incredible String Band and the Delgados, as they were going on stage they told me they used to be Not Bit Of Wood, and they put out a single a couple of years ago called Perfect Setting, which I'm going to play you now.')
(JP: 'You may recall that...I lose track, not on Monday, on Tuesday, or was it the end of last week? [1] I played you Gorky's Zygotic Mynci's Fresher Than The Sweetness In Water, their version of it, this is the original.')
(JP: 'I have to be honest, I don't remember ever having heard that in my life before until I looked it up on this compilation LP...they did five sessions for this programme back at the end of the 60s and beginning of the 70s, by the way.')
