Comments
  • Start of show:"Mr Branston is it now, how very pleasant to hear Alan Freeman back on Radio 1 FM albeit briefly in the Beatles programme". The Beatles reference is related to the BBC Radio One documentary The Beeb's Lost Beatles Tape that was broadcast before Peel's show.
  • Peel mentions that Erwin Blom from Dutch band Eton Crop is going to Ghent in Belgium to report to him about Belgian New Beat music and then plays a Belgian New Beat track from Chinese Ways.
  • Peel says that his favourite record to play loud with his son William in the car is a cassette from a German thrash metal band called Mottek.
  • Peel mentions laughing at a letter written in the Guardian newspaper by a reader who mentioned that the reason Pru Forrest is silent in the Archers is that she is a member of Sinn Fein. [1]
  • Peel plays a Polish track from a record sent by a listener from Poland and is surprised how listeners in that country are able to listen to his shows. The track comes from a Polish band with a German name called Klaus Mit Foch.
