* Having made the existing 30-minute version of this show available to the Peel community a few years ago, I fortunately recently came across this expanded version (80 minutes). This is truly a classic Peel show - one of the best I've ever heard from my favourite period.
* An unusual jokey intro/opening (possibly unique) - was this a prank by a "Paul"?
* Sessions are by a great little reggae band called Carnastoan (which Peely pronounces "Cornerstone" all the time), and Pink Industry from Liverpool.
* There's a record by a chap called Timmy Thomas from 1972, which starts off sounding like Ultravox circa 1978, a great gothy, Cure-esque number from a New Zealand outfit called Dance Macabre - very 1982 - some simply spliffing reggae from Yellowman, and three songs from Californian eccentric and Zappa's friend/enemy, Captain Beefheart.
* Peely's banter is top class - funny, interesting, almost stand-up quality. (Other)
* Further remastered version now available, courtesy of Bill (see Files section below).
* Captain Beefheart's birthday was the previous Friday.
* Mary Monday & The Bitches single was found in John Peel's Record Box. He remarks how difficult it is to get hold of a copy.
* Session band Pink Industry were the successors of Pink Military, who were themselves an off-shoot of Big In Japan.
* Milkshakes featured guitar and vocal skills of "Wild" Billy Childish, previously been in the Pop Rivets. Peel mentions that Childish has been pestering him to play a track from the band's debut album, but he claims he'd lost his copy and only received a new one that evening,
* More on this show at Kat's Karavan.
* A short extract from this show, featuring the Pink Industry session track 'Tomorrow', was used on the BBC crime thriller The Field Of Blood in 2011.
