16 November 1987

Show

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.
