Tracklisting

Gunshot: 'Killing Season (12 inch)' (Vinyl Solution)
Pavement: 'Kentucky Cocktail' (Peel Session)
Terry Edwards: 'Four' (Peel Session)
Papa San: 'Price Increase'
Klezmatics: 'Honikzaft' (Peel Session)
Teenage Fanclub: 'The Concept (CD single)' (Virgin)
(11.30 p.m. news: some Albanian children have been refused entry to the UK for Christmas, during which they were going to see Manchester United play)
Huggy Bear: 'Sizzlemeat (EP-Kiss Curl For The Kids Lib Guerillas)' (Wiiija)
(JP: 'It makes you proud to be British, doesn't it, keeping those Albanian children away? That's the Christmas spirit, 1992-style. On the other hand, I suppose, taking them to see Manchester United is a little tough.')
Terry Edwards: 'Lubbock Texas' (Peel Session)
Half Man Half Biscuit: 'Floreat Interior' (Peel Session)
Awali Banane: 'Fatumata (CD)'
(JP: 'If I live to be 100, which is frankly pretty unlikely, I shall never tire of that.')
Pavement: 'Secret Knowledge Of Backroads' (Peel Session)
150 Volts: 'Hi I'm Chucki (Wanna Play?)-Shut Up'N'Dance Remix (12 inch)' (Ruff Quality Recordings)
Bivouac: 'Fishes (12 inch-Abc)' (Elemental) (tape flip in the middle of this)
(JP: 'Those are the Bivs, as they're known to their trillions of fans worldwide.')
Klezmatics: ? (Peel Session)
(JP: 'I assume the titles here are in Yiddish, and as I don't know anybody who speaks Yiddish, I can't actually tell you what they are with any authority, but suffice to say those are the Klezmatics, and if they come this way again, they will most assuredly be in session again.')

The Festive Fifty Of 1992: Numbers 50-

(JP: 'You may recall last year, if you're a regular listener, that I abandoned the Festive Fifty in a fit of pique. Well, it was a bit more than that. The letters weren't really coming in in sufficient quantity to make it worth doing, so about half way through it I abandoned it, although a chart for last year has actually been compiled by a listener in Sheffield. Last time I spoke to him, he wasn't actually sure what his own name was: this is true. So perhaps I'd better not credit him by name 'cos it might cause even greater confusion. But at some stage I shall let you know what the Festive Fifty for last year was, for those handful of demented folk who'll be quite curious to know. But we move on, obviously, to the Festive Fifty for 1992, and we start in time-honoured tradition with the fiftieth record, which goes something like this.')
50: Fall, 'Birmingham School Of Business School (LP-Code: Selfish)' (Fontana)
(JP: 'Yes, listeners, we're into the Festive Fifty, in which we shall meet lots of old friends and stop for a sandwich and a mug of ginger beer along the way.')
49: Verve, 'All In The Mind (Maxi)' (Hut)
(JP: 'I always get really nervous each year when the Festive Fifty comes round, if indeed it does come around, because I always tink I'm going to do something really ludicrous, like play the wrong track, or instead of playing something by, say, the Fall, putting in a record by John Cougar Mellencamp or something, and not noticing, and have you all laugh at me. In this year's Festive Fifty, I think there's a record number of records that I've never played on the radio previously: seven, in fact, altogether in the Fifty, and this is the first of them.')
48: Sugar, 'Helpless (LP-Copper Blue)' (Creation)
