- Comments
- Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions mistakenly puts the Les Thugs recordings as of 1st December 1987 (which by the way was a repeat session broadcast) instead of 8th November 1987.
- Peel's show starts at 3:03 of File 1, where he just came back from Germany yesterday.
- Peel mentions that he thinks the Chills are great live after seeing them perform in Borkum, Germany, but thought their last session was a bit disappointing. He also goes on to praise German artist Santrra Oxyd who also was touring with the Chills.
- Peel plays a song from Israeli artist Ofra Haza, which Eric B & Rakim used for their track Paid In Full (Coldcut Remix).
- Peel plays a track from Dinosaur Jr. covering Peter Frampton's Show Me The Way.
- Peel plays couple of tracks from the Skinny Boys' latest LP, whose track Cries Of The City makes a reference to Nat King Cole, who gets an airplay on the show.
- Peel mentions his friend Ian McFee bought a record of drag boat racing, which he plays a snippet on the show.
