- Comments
- Kid Jensen draws the names of 5 lucky winners who each win a copy of Public Image Limited's 'Metal Box' LP.
- There is some confusion over the current lineup of Pink Military. Peel describes meeting Budgie (the drummer on the session) and their current drummer at his ill-fated John Peel Roadshow appearance in Liverpool the weekend before last. The latter drummer was sporting a black eye.
- The Velvettes track later turned up as a Peelenium choice for 1964.
- Mentions doing a recent gig in Wollaston for 'Big Bob' Knight.
- Four tracks are in the show from Pink Floyd's 'The Wall', which Peel commends for its anti-fascist lyrical content.
- Reads out a trail for tomorrow evening's 'Personal Call' which is to feature his old schoolmate Michael Palin. Peel mentions that Palin had recently been on 'Desert Island Discs' - "He picked a rotten bunch of records." [1]
