- Comments
- A rare appearances in Peel playlists by pseudonymous white country bluesman Backwards Sam Firk (real name Michael Stewart [1943-2007]), one of the circle of collectors of rare country blues records which also included John Fahey, Canned Heat's Al Wilson and Yazoo Records' Nick Perls.
- Also a song from Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The Sound Of Music" in a version by actress Patricia Routledge, following a track by Mrs Miller.
- Author David Cavanagh holds up Peel's programming of this show as an example of the DJ close to his eclectic best, displaying “a form of erudite, neo-anarchic, abstract expressionist fearlessness that no other person on British music radio before or since could have begun to imagine how to emulate”, with a run of playlist choices that also includes the Wedding Present, Humblebums, a dancehall cover of Carly Simon, accordionist Jimmy Shand and 11 noisecore tracks from the first Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh! compilation that last a total of 15 seconds. (Good Night And Good Riddance, Faber & Faber, 2015, pg 11.)
