  • (JP: 'I was moaning a couple of months ago about the LP 'Every Band Has A Shonen Knife Who Loves Them', and pointing out that in America there was a limited edition double LP which had an extra track on it from Babes In Toyland. I eventually wrote to them and said, "Hey! How do you get hold of a copy of that?", and they sent me one. So, this is their contribution.')

  • (JP: 'Now this next record I listened to just once this afternoon when I was putting the programme together, and it was one of those which I felt, "This has got to be played tonight." In fact, I felt like rushing down and interrupting DLT or whoever it was, and saying, "Phil Collins, fine, but put this on instead."...Both sides of this are terrific, and I shall play you both sides in next Saturday's programme, I'm sure of that.')

  • (JP: Captain Beefheart phoned me up during the week, absolutely out of the blue. Fortunately, I was in, because many many years ago he phoned me up, and I wasn't in, and he didn't speak to me for two years! He thought I should have known he was going to phone up. He was on the phone for about twenty minutes, and we talked of this and that, you know, and he asked me what I was doing. To be honest, I was a bit frightened of him, though I admire him a great deal. I suppose I think of him as being a kind of mate, in a vague way, but because of his being generally what I regard as a rather remarkable man with a very powerful intellect, and I'm always, I have to say, slightly intimidated by him. The last interview that I can remember doing on the radio was interviewing Captain Beefheart, and it was so frightful that I've never done another one since, despite the fact that I felt he was a bloke I got on with reasonably well. But at one stage, bearing in mind that he was phoning from California, at his own expense, he played me two and a half tracks from an LP by Ewan MacColl. I'm not quite sure why he did that, but he told me this was the music he was listening to, and in fact said it was the only music he was listening to at the moment, so I promised to send him an LP or two by Martin Carthy to try and expand his consciousness a bit. He recommended to me with great enthusiasm the work of Philip Larkin, who he said was the best poet who'd ever written. The only other bit of advice that he gave me, which I'll pass on to you, was, because apparently he lives in a house which overlooks the Pacific Ocean, and there's a lot of surfing going on there. He says every once in a while, the surfer comes in with a limb or two missing, and occasionally surfers disappear entirely. I said, "Well, do you ever go surfing or swimming in the ocean yourself?", and he said, and this is advice that I can pass on to you, that he only swims in water that contains human pee. That sounds like a jolly good idea.')
