John Peel's first show on Dutch radio station VPRO
Start of Peel's show with an unidentified announcer saying: 'And here he is, live from London, Mr John Peel'
Peel starts speaking: "Hello chums, this wildly inappropriate music is by Ike Turner and I'm going use it as a theme tune until I get fed up with it and I've been doing radio programmes since you were up at the last tour I say. I'm very very nervous about doing this one. One thing I will tell you though that I don't talk too much on the radio and I just want to play you some good records."
(JP: 'There's a 12" of that, that really goes on a bit actually ... I have friends in Holland and hope to make more. I know that's the sort of thing Bob Hope would say, but it is actually true)
(Peel mentions that his family in Suffolk would be able to listen to this show and then plays a record that someone gave him when they were in Australia for a holiday)
Bring Philip: Fire Truck (12" - Endoscopy) Major Record Company
(JP: "The LP that I enjoyed most over the past week has been the Red Roses for me which is the debut LP from the Pogues, formerly Pogue Mahone, which is something rather rude in Gaelic. This is Streams Of Whiskey")
(JP: "Hope you enjoyed this programme and you listen again and ask your friends to listen, it's very important to me that you should like it actually. You don't have to like me, but like the music. I'm going to leave you with another Australian band, these are the Go-Betweens from an LP on Sire Records called Spring Hill Fair and this is The Old Way Out. Thanks again for listening, goodnight")
