  • JP has been rooting through his old boxes for material for his autobiography and came across an old letter from MC5 manager John Sinclair. The single by the band he plays here later turned up in John Peel's Record Box (two copies).

Obviously somebody like Kenny Dalglish, we adored, didn't we? And Ian Rush and all of those people ...")

  • Mono - 'Mere Your Pathetique Light (LP- Walking Cloud And Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered And The Sun Shined)' (Ryko)
(JP: "I came across a letter by John Sinclair. Now he was the founder of the radical White Panther Party, who adopted the MC5 as the chosen leaders of his vision of a rock and roll army - I'm quoting now from something that Hermeet found actually, I have to give him credit for that ... But amazing I found a letter from him. It's rather a historic document - 24 Sept. 1968: 'Thanks for your kind (???) of so long ago about the MC5 and thanks too for playing our record on your show.' Specifically, this record...")
  • MC 5 - 'Lookin' At You (7")' (A - Square)
(JP: "Well, despite the slight scratch I like to think that's worth a few bob - not that that's the point really. Seven-inch single on A-Square from the MC5 before they even signed for Elektra Records. Looking At You is the title of it.") (It is known that Peel had played the B-side, "Borderline", on the show of 11 August 1968.)
