File 1 cuts in
(JP: “I know it is not very fashionable these days to like the Pleasers – “power pop”, everybody sneers – but poo to the moaning minnies, say I. I get all this stuff out of the morning papers incidentally.”)
(JP: “And the sleevenote features dance instructions that read like a wife-swapping party in hell. But you can try them if you like.”)
(tape flip)
(JP: “And the last from the excellent Prefects…”)
