Start of show: “Come on in, boys and girls. Welcome to Peel Acres.”
Anita the producer suspects the existence of a rude work in the first session track by ARE Weapons. Peel claims she’s the type of person who thinks shadows on the bedroom ceiling are made by men waving their willies in a nearby building, but later has to admit she was probably right (about the rude words).
Further to Tuesday’s show, plays Dancing Queen by Cheeze – at two speeds (unsure which sounds best). The single later turned up in John Peel's Record Box.
Peel says he remembers the Pig's Big 78 being #1 in the chart in December 1954 (note, it may have actually been January 1955).
Peel recalls producing an unnamed band on Dandelion Records: “It was around the time of Hey Jude, which started to fade about half way through and there was about a four minute fade on it. So I persuaded these people to let me start fading from the moment the record started. So the record, I can’t remember how it went, but I mean it just came in with a bang and then faded from that point on until it disappeared completely some three and a half or four minutes later.”
