Show [ ] Name Station YYYY-MM-DD Comments Plays several tracks from new LPs "Can't Stand The Rezillos " and "Handsworth Revolution" by Steel Pulse , plus both sides of the latest Desperate Bicycles single.
Playlist for the night includes "three of the shortest recordings known to man." After playing two of these, Peel throws in an 8-minute Van Der Graaf Generator epic.
Gimmick song alert: The Snakefinger ode to a pimple (co-written by The Residents ) is followed by a version of an old Leiber & Stroller hit by mezzo-soprano Joan Morris & pianist William Bolcom .
The La Peste record was discovered after Peel's death among his favorite 45s in John Peel's Record Box .
The Albion Band track is Simon Bates’ forthcoming single of the week.
