== Tracklisting ==
Part One
*(JP: 'And I've been reading reviews in the music weeklies of the new LP from Bongwater, and their previous work has been kind of, OK, I've always felt, you know, I've liked a few tracks, played them for you on the radio. But the new one is really very good indeed, I think, and I've only heard three-quarters of it, but on the strength of it, I'm trying to track the band down, because they're either here or about to be here, in order to get them in to do a session.') 16 February 1991
*Bongwater: 'Nick Cave Dolls (LP-The Power Of Pussy)' (Shimmy Disc) This track made the 'Phantom Fifty' at, well, number 50. The session debuted in April 1991. See also Best Of Peel Vol 26.16 February 1991

I've got this rather disgusting skin condition which affects my forefinger and thumb on my left hand, and I have to rub this cream in to try and make it go away, and just before the programme, I took the wrong tube out of my bag, and painstakingly rubbed toothpaste into it, and it now hurts like hell.') 24 February 1991

I asked this woman, they've got some kind of bottled beer I've never seen in my life before, and I said, "What's that?", and she said, "I don't know!
