; Comments
*Peel describes the Boards Of Canada session as "excellent ... wonderful ... one of the best received of the year." He wishes he'd asked why the band have their name, even though it's such a boring question: "Why are you called The Beatles?" Wonders whether the name might be an anagram, as it sounds like a crossword clue. It comes from the National Film Board Of Canada, whose documentary films inspired the band. Original single of session track Aquarius turned up in John Peel's Record Box.
*Complains about the terrible smell of next studio ("it smells of corruption and rotting flesh and terrible feet and things like that..."), then realises it seems to have followed him in.
*Thrill to a Tom Jones cover by "Swedish Elvis" Eilert Pilarm. Peel promises more from the LP the following week - "you can be absolutely certain of that!"
