Peel 005 (BFBS)

Show[]

"Yes, listeners, you're thrilling to a special request edition of John Peel's Music On BFBS. That was for Bob Purcell in Akrotiri, whereas this is for Arthur from Dirk who hates reggae. Why do people always write in and tell me they hate reggae with some sort of pride? Not quite sure."

(JP: 'Goodness me, that used to sound really hard in the days when it first came out. It sounds sort of Gary Numanesque these days.')
