  • A listener writes believing he has solved John's quest for the Little Richard Cover Search, stating that it is the Vikings' 1964 version of 'Rip It Up' but JP denies this.
  • Another listener contacts John to tell him that his old prep school (Woodlands in Deganwy, north Wales) was demolished this week.
  • Peel reveals that PJ Harvey's first attempt at recording a debut session wasn't aired. "PJ wasn't terrifically happy with it, so she asked us not to broadcast that one so we didn't and (she) did a second one."

Sessions

Tracklisting

(JP: ‘And I hope you heard them [The House Of Love] on Tuesday night on that concert on Mark Goodier’s programme from the Waterfront in Norwich, because they were exceptionally good I thought. I mean they only played a 30 minute set or so, but a lot harder than I thought they were gonna be; and just a real treat. As were Jacob's Mouse from Bury St Edmunds, and of course most particularly The Fall. And as regular listeners will know a couple of weeks ago I saw them in Cambridge. Not disappointed, how could you be disappointed with The Fall, but I mean you know they weren’t absolutely at their peak, but they certainly were on Tuesday night. What a great gig it was. And I got to exchange pleasantries with Mark E Smith afterwards at a kind of showbiz do. You know just a kind of expressions of mutual whatever on a staircase as I left, but nevertheless great stuff. And he shook our William's hand and our William was much touched by that and quite rightly so. This is Big Black.’)
(JP: ‘And these are the Cranberries and err sorry. I’ve left me glasses at home actually. Not that I need them to see. [Bang] Oh that’s me bumping into the microphone. The Cranberries and Want.’)
(JP: ‘After the news a voice that has gone unheard on these programmes for too long.’
(11.30 news)
(JP: That’s the second one at the wrong speed tonight. The only excuse I’ve got is that a light has burnt out. But that’s a bad workman blames his tools. Hummp! Right take it away – oh come on!’)
(‘JP: I’ve no idea what that means [El Desorden] and I suppose I just have to hope that it’s not some kind of colloquial word for the front bottom.’)
(1:00 news)
