- Comments
- John regales us not only with an LP he's brought back from his Cretan holiday, but also with an "impression" of the singing thereon.
- He includes cover versions of Blue Öyster Cult, an old music-hall song which John claims to be old enough to remember [1], and Duran Duran, and it seems to be the beginning of the end of his admiration for the Sisters Of Mercy.
- A listener enrages JP by telling him the first half of one of his BFBS programmes in Cologne was cancelled in favour of a concert by Camel, leading to a bit of shrieking from John and comments about "the ultimate indignity" and "a gang of clapped-out old hippies."
