- Comments
- A heavy on the pause button recording of this show, which nevertheless manages to capture two complete sessions (the String Driven Thing set is noticeable by its absence) and a potentially racist, out of character Peel comment - although he was perhaps simply trying to draw attention to the odd title of one of Back Door's session tracks, a familiar dance tune, which many of his listeners would have learned at school..
