Comments
  • Room are not in session, but the tracks played from their cassette album were described as a session in Ken's book.
  • Peel moans about how short records are these days: "In the good old days... You could put on one side of a Pink Floyd LP and go up to the canteen for half an hour, game of cards out in the control room. Now of course, you don't get a moment's peace."
  • John says of the Gene Vincent track 'Say Mama' - "when I was a soldier of the Queen, years and years and years ago and we had camp dances, and I'd had rather too much to drink, I used to try and stagger on stage, grab a microphone and sing it. I don't think I ever got further than the first couple of lines but it has considerable sentimental importance to me for that reason."
