Comments

• File 3 taken from a haul of 1500 mixed edited radio show tapes, purchased from a Scottish collector by a group including Peel Mailing List member Haze.
• Peel mentions getting curious letters from listeners who write famous people's names on them such as "Stevie Wonder for the care of John Peel", despite not knowing many famous people, he goes on to say that he never got the latest LP from Stevie Wonder, despite people thinking he knows him.
• Peel mentions that his first record bought was from Ray Martin And His Concert Orchestra called Blue Tango.
• Peel isn't sure if Kenny Dalglish cap against Iceland would be his 95th or 96th. After the Guana Batz track, Peel mentions Simon from the Cocteau Twins rang him up to tell it would be his 95th.
