- Comments
- JP in a gloriously irreverent mood. Start of show: 'This is John Peel once again, exclusively for the Virgin stores, starting with a wildly over the top record from Hong Kong.'
- After playing Every Day by The Selecter "These days all of the critics the so-called pop pundits as they used to be called back in the 60's are slagging off the Two Tone bands like The Specials and The Selecter. I think they're wrong, bollocks to the lot of them say I for one."
- After hearing that people in Coventry were listening to this tape and not buying anything, Peel comes out with the true message: 'Consume, consume, buy, buy, buy, then fuck off out of the shop.'
