18 November 1986

Show

Peel has a theme for Action Man as an intro to the show.
Peel plays a session track from Buy Off The Bar covering The Fall's That Man.
Peel mentioned that he is trying to get Vasilis Skoulas to do a session for his show, but says the man is very busy to do one at the moment.
Peel says that one of his favourite songs of 1986 is Sharp by Twang.
Peel plays a copy of Sharp As A Needle that was lent by Steve Barker. The tune by Adrian Sherwood later entered the 1987 Festive Fifty under the name of the Barmy Army.
Peel mentions that he'll be on Singled Out this Friday, presented by Janice Long and reviewing records along with Doctor & The Medics.
Peel plays a couple of Japanese records on the show which he bought when he was in Japan recently. He got a Japanese friend to translate the records, but had forgotten one record to translate, which Peel plays on the show. He calls it unknown artist, unknown track. The unknown artist is actually Papaya Paranoia and the song is called Rinse.
Peel plays a 17th century Thomas Ravenscroft composed track called We Be Three Poor Mariners from the Canterbury Clerkes. He mentions that his son is also called Thomas Ravenscroft.
