Comments
  • Several tracks are played from the Devil's Jukebox singles box set from Blast First label, including one by the band Arsenal. Peel says he had never been sent any of their previous work and claims he was only persuaded to play the record by son Thomas, who told him his reluctance to do this was childish. Peel had a strong dislike for Arsenal football team (see Football).
  • A track by A Witness is played as a tribute to the band's guitarist, Rick Aitken, after his recent death in a climbing accident.
