== Tracklisting ==
*Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band: Sure 'Nuff 'N Yes I Do - (album - Dropout Boogie)
Charlie's first pick is a 1970 stereo reissue of the debut album from avant-garde, genre-blending, singer-songwriter Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. The LP was first released three years earlier, under a completely different title: Safe As Milk.
*Ivor Cutler: Lemon Flower - (album - Jammy Smears)
Scottish humourist poet and musician Ivor Cutler became known for his regular performances on John Peel's Radio 1 show - as well as elsewhere on the BBC. He would often accompany himself on a harmonium. This 1976 album features 31 tracks - the shortest, just 8 seconds long.
*Mohamed Moneer: Sif Safa - (album - Yalla - Hitlist Egypt)
Charlie is excited to find this 1990 compilation album from Island Records, featuring a track by Egyptian singer (and actor) Mohamed Mounir, whose musical career spans over 40 years.
*Erasmus Betschart: Chuerailheli Cow Bells Man's Solo (pasture) (album - Jodel of the Muotatal (Switzerland))
Recorded in 1979, this album features the yodelling voices of cattle herders in Switzerland's Muotatal valley, accompanied by the clang of cowbells. Charlie owns the LP himself and played it on his NTS radio show.
*Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan: Manaquib Chisti - (album - En Concert A Paris)
Pakistani artist Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is known as one of the greatest qawaali singers in history; qawaali being a form of Sufi Islamic devotional singing. This live album was recorded by Radio France in November 1985. Charlie also mentions another of Nusrat's albums, Magic Touch, which was made in collaboration with producer Bally Sagoo and released on Birmingham-based label Oriental Star Agencies.
*Cocteau Twins: Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops - (7" single)
Next Charlie pulls out his favourite song by Scottish band Cocteau Twins - who pioneered the 1980s subgenre of dream pop. The trio took their name from a song by another Scottish band, Johnny and the Self-Abusers - who renamed themselves Simple Minds.
*Coati Mundi: Me No Pop I - (7" single)
This single was a top 40 UK hit for American singer and percussionist Coati Mundi - aka Andy Hernandez - best known for being a member of Kid Creole and the Coconuts. Charlie recommends everyone should watch the video of Coati Mundi singing and dancing his way through Washington Square Park, in New York.
*Len Liggins: 'Bye 'Bye Brenda - (album - A Headfull of Ants)
Charlie's only true "lucky dip" selection was this, by Leeds-based singer-songwriter Len Liggins. It turns out Len is also a member of The Ukrainians, along with Peter Solowka from The Wedding Present. The band launched following the success of a special Ukrainian-language John Peel session.
*Napalm Death: The Missing Link / Mentally Murdered - (12" single - Mentally Murdered)
And finally - a 12" single from Napalm Death; pioneers of the grindcore genre. Charlie remembers John playing some of the band's super-heavy but super-brief tracks on his Radio 1 show - in fact, they hold the world record for the shortest recorded song ever: You Suffer at 1.316 seconds.
