[edit] Show

Introduces new Perfumed Garden slot for records he played on the last night of the legendary pirate show on 14 August 1967. Spurred to do this by a partial listing that had appeared in an old Mojo magazine. First record for the new slot was Any More Than I Do by The Attack. JP comments that he used to use the guitar at the start of the track in promos and trailers for his programmes. Is confused by name "Georgina Whitney" written on the sleeve (mystery solved at the Kat's Karavan link below).
Plays Shadow of Grief by The Greenhorns, found after his death in his Record Box containing some of his favorite singles. Mentions that it was among records brought back from Detroit for him by Anita, the show's former producer, and is one for White Stripes completists as it was recorded and mixed by Jack White.
Pig's Big 78 is I'm Sorry by The Platters, which JP says he remembers buying when it came out (in 1957, according to Wikipedia). Adds that he had been thinking of playing When The Great Red Dawn Is Shining by Horace Pack from the mini disc he has, but claims to have resisted this as he doesn't want to offend Manchester United fans (whose team had lost against Liverpool that weekend). In fact, he played it the following night, 23 January 2002, instead.
Plays Sweet Water by the recently deceased Jeff Astle as a tribute to "one of the few footballers who made a half-decent record."
