Comments
  • The Viv Stanshall session ('The Thing At Rawlingson End') does not appear to be listed by Ken Garner in The Peel Sessions except as a repeat, although it doesn't seem to be a repeat of Stanshall's #14 session ('Cackling Gas Capers'), first broadcast 06 April 1991.
  • Peel says he first heard the Moondog track he plays here in the mid-1960s in Frank Hessey's music shop in Liverpool. The CD reissue prompted JP to try and get the blind street musician in for a session, but this hadn't been possible while he was still in the country.
  • A very complex availability, with numerous pause-button edited shows, roughly adding up to 144 out of 180 minutes available

Sessions

  • Gore #3 First broadcast. Recorded 1991-07-09. No known commercial release.
