  • Tracklisting from defunct website provided by Peel Mailing List member ckitlee, to whom many thanks.
  • Cover versions include 'The Cutter' from Solex (original by Echo & The Bunnymen), 'I Can Take You To The Sun' from Quickspace (Misunderstood), and 'Elenore' from Cinerama (Turtles), all seemingly from John Peel's 60th Birthday Album of specially recorded tracks by sessions bands. Solex appear twice on the tracklisting, also turning up with a track from the current album.
  • Other covers include an otherwise undocumented version of 'Salamanda Palaganda' from To Rococo Rot (original by Tyrannosaurus Rex), while Gerry & The Pacemakers make an unexpected appearance on the show with their version of Arthur Alexander's 'Shot Of Rhythm & Blues', originally released as lead track on the Merseybeat combo's debut album in 1963.[1]
  • The show ends with what appears to be an old Fall session track, 'Words Of Expectation', from the band's seventh visit to the BBC studios for Peel, released on Strange Fruit in 1993.
