Tracklisting[]

  • Echo And The Bunnymen: Pride (LP - The Very Best Of Echo & The Bunnymen) Warner - Pioneer (NOTE: The Cassette version has the extra track called Pride)
​(JP: In Amsterdam my car was broken into and all the records in this week's programme were stolen, alot of my favourites, which can't be replace, not immediately anyway.....Some swine in Amsterdam has probably sold it to some loathsome entrepeneur.)
(JP: Things going badly already for me this evening. Actually I invited a couple of people in to enjoy the programme. And they already told me, they have to leave in half an hour to go home and watch a programme, television programme, about Belgium. Now I don't believe that, I'm sure you also don't believe that.)
  • Roy Orbison: Love Hurts (EP - Roy Orbison) London (Peel plays record after hearing the song performed live by Elaine Paige at the Albert Hall the previous evening in concert attended for forthcoming review in unnamed Sunday newspaper.)
(JP: While I was driving around in northern Europe, before my records were all stolen, and there are, this moment, as you imagined, Peel foundation death squads scowling second hand record shops in Amsterdam, trying to bring people to a rough but quick justice)
  • Chills: Rolling Moon (Peel Session)
(JP: The first band I think we had from New Zealand, doubtless people will write in and correct me on this.) [1]
