*Queen: Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy # % (start and last 20s only)

*Robert Wyatt: 'Sea Song' (Peel Session) 1
*(JP: 'Well, if that had been a 78, you could have said that it was cracked, but it wasn't....It would be nice to get him to come in and do some new stuff one of these days too.') 1
*(...John Ayes, as it were, or a group called the Jayes. That sounds very silly, but I've seen it written both ways on record, so it could be either, and frankly I have no idea which it is. It also features Ranking Trevor. Ranking Trevor, an excellent man in every way, doesn't come into the record until it's about three minutes and forty-three seconds old, but when he does come in, it's marvellous, and this is a great record anyway.') For further discussion of this anomaly, see Reggae. 1 %
