; Comments
*Around 6 minutes missing from show via Files a-1. The first track is missing (the only missing track) Files a-c are the main stream of the SL Tapes while file d is the dance edit. File 1 is a new continuous portion from the Rich 200 running from 11:04pm to 00:40am and file b continues the continous portion to 00:53. Some missing Peel intros and outros surrounding the dance tracks later in the show account for the remaning missing minutes.
*Notable first plays include two tracks from Wckr Spgt - a late addition to the running order after Peel heard the record for the first time that morning - and three tracks from the My Bloody Valentine's landmark album Loveless. Three more from the latter release are promised on the next night's show.
*It's Sheila birthday once midnight comes around, and Peel plays her a song.
*John claims to be wearing a Captain Beefheart T-shirt.

:(JP: 'Terry also points out in his letter, "Jacko the mindermast" (shouldn't that be mastermind?) "behind Stiff Records had an interesting Dandelion single the other day: Bill Oddie performing On Ilkley Moor Baht'At in the manner of Joe Cocker, and yourself on the B side singing Hare Krishna." He says, "We think it's time you gave it an airing on the show. Don't be shy." No chance Terry, and I suspect that I own all of the copies apart from the one that you found. Also featuring on that particular recording was John Walters, and indeed the Pig.')

:(JP: 'A letter from Scott Keeler, who writes to me from Fife, and he says, "Mr. Peel" (I like that, a little respect), "reference the recent T. Rex / Marc Bolan revival, I found a T. Rex album, double at that, on Cube Records, and found that you, sir, appear on said double LP telling a somewhat strange tale on the theme of the album in general. I wondered if you would inform the lesser informed of the public, i.e. me, by telling me what it's all about." Well, the thing is that Marc had written these stories and I'd read them actually from the stage of the Royal Albert Hall, I think probably twice and from Stage One of the small parts of the Festival (Hall) on at least one occasion. About three or four years ago, because there are two separate bits of this story...well, it's not really a story, I mean it doesn't really make a great deal of sense to be honest with you, but I combined them anyway, and during one of the ICA Rock Weeks, I crept on between bands and sat cross-legged on the stage as I had done at the Albert Hall, Festival Hall and various other venues, and read the self-same stories. The reaction from the audience wasn't what I had expected at all. They were completely in a sense oblivious to it. They neither threw things, or shrieked abuse, or applauded or did anything. When I'd finished, I just got off, disappeared and they obviously thought, "What the hell was all that about?"')

:(JP: 'At 2 o'clock it's going to become 1 o'clock again in a rather confusing way, and I did volunteer to do an extra hour, but they said, "No no no, kind of you, but we'll let Neil James do it instead."') However, the BBC had no such qualms on 24 October 1992 where John delivered a 4-hour show during the end of British Summer Time.
