Comments
  • Peel plays the Culture tune at the wrong speed at the beginning of the show before correcting it.
  • The FSK session is entirely comprised of Beatles covers: 'Komm Gibt Mir Deine Hand' is actually 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' and was recorded by the Beatles solely for the German market.
  • Peel pays tribute to Kid Thomas who recently died and plays a track from the artist.
  • Peel thinks the Japanese track from Qujila is a cover version, but is not sure who by.
