Tracklisting

JP: "I wish somebody out there would stop taking bloody photographs. I'm going to have a stroke in just a moment, and then where will we be? Well obviously, they'd get somebody else in - 'John's been taking ill, he would have liked to go this way and instead we're going to have somebody else doing his programme. It will be much better.'"
