== Tracklisting ==
*File a cuts in just in time to capture John's intro
*JP - 'Thank you Andy and here are some youngsters with no respect for global institutions.'
*Files 1 & 2 cut in at start of the first track and File 3 just a little into the start.
*Honeymoon Killers: 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' This is possibly the name of the artists, but Peel is rather vague about it, to say the least.
*Cool Guys: 'Jive Marimba No. 1 (7 inch)' (M'Shala Shala)
*Levellers 5: 'Pressure Drop' (Peel Session)
*JP: 'They have their devotees, and I'm happy to be one of them.'
*'JP: 'I was reading the Melody Maker actually in bed this morning at my mother's house, and musing on how the people who write for it seem to go to loads and loads and loads of parties, if even half of what they write is true, and I don't get invited to any of these parties at all, and I'm in showbiz as well. I often wonder why that is, and then later on, when I was downstairs and drinking some coffee that my mum had made, and trying to cut out an eight and a half out of a Dr. Scholls Air Pillows shoe insert, I thought to myself, here I am, well into my second half century, and I've never even met Miki and Emma out of Lush.

Especially those people who have done sessions for the programme. I could tell them about my exploits during the Great War and how I remember when you could buy a decent sized house for a shilling and all that kind of thing. I think they would find me a fascinating old bloke.'

He also said he looked like a bank clerk, but not one that John has ever seen, "bank clerk from hell" he would have thought.
