Tracklisting

(JP: 'You're listening to the third tiredest man in Europe, but I've got some great records for you, that's just the first of them.')
(JP: 'I almost find myself wishing I didn't like the LP, because Elastica have been getting so much press, and all of it so enthusiastic, that, you know, kind of your spirit rebels against it.')
(JP: The John Peel Roadshow came out of retirement, hauled itself up, and went up to Manchester to play records at the Hacienda in the small room in the basement: it probably has a name, but I don't know what it is, just so I can say to people, if I live long enough to have grandchildren, "Of course, I did the Hacienda." "No you didn't Grandad." "Yes, I did, I did, I really did."')
(JP: 'I mentioned last week that I'm having me singles sorted out at this very moment for the first time in about eight years, which means that I'm coming up with a lot of old records that I'd forgotten I'd got. They're being sorted out by a chap called Aden, who's known to me as Aden In The Sky, and every once in a while I have to go up and help Aden in the sky and move records from one place to another, and stuff like that, and of course I keep taking things that he's just carefully filed away back out again so that I can listen to them. And one of the records that fell out was a record I've not heard in about 15 years, I'd suggest, perhaps even longer than that....it's a great one for whistling along with, even if you don't know the tune.')
(JP: 'Played that last night at the Hacienda at huge volume and it sounded absolutely wonderful. I'm going to be dropping that sort of thing into my conversation for the next two or three weeks, just to let you know.')
