; Comments 
*Special programme to commemorate Peel's 60th birthday six days previously, recorded on the day itself, Monday 30th August.
*John recalls seeing a Will Hay film called The Ghost Train at boarding school when he was nine or ten and being "absolutely terrified" by it, even though it was supposed to be a comedy. However, he seems to have confused this film (which starred Arthur Askey) with The Ghost Of St. Michael's. The two are apparently frequently compared.
== Sessions ==
*None
== Tracklisting ==
*Salako: 'Look Right (CD-Musicality)' (Jeepster Recordings)
:(JP: 'Today's actually my 60th birthday, and I'm recording this programme on my birthday, and we've just come back from seeing Ipswich give Barnsley a good whacking: 6-1, a most exciting afternoon it was. If only it had been 6-0, and then it would have been 60...but it would have been too neat, really.') 
*Lee Perry: 'Rally Dub (Compilation CD-X-Ray Music: A Blood & Fire Dub Directory)' (Blood & Fire)
*Radar Bros.: 'Shoveling Sons (CD-The Singing Hatchet)' (Chemikal Underground)
*DJ Ron: 'Hear Me (12")' (London Some'Ting)
*Otherwise: 'Said & Done (CD-First In Third)' (Them's Good)
:(JP: 'How reassuring it is that people are still making that sort of noise.')
*Luther Ingram: 'My Honey And Me (7")' (KoKo) JP says that he used to play this "when these programmes were called something like Rock Today".
:(JP: 'I wish there was somebody who knew when I first did a programme for BFBS, but all records seem to have been lost. Nobody knows at all: I certainly don't. But there must have been loads of anniversaries that have been and gone and been missed and so forth when we could have gone out and had a bit of a drink and a celebration, but there you go.') According to Charles Foster, his producer, JP started doing BFBS shows in 1972.
*Low: 'Venus (Compilation CD-Shanti Project Collection)' (Badman Recoring Co.)
*Dr. Scissors: 'Give Me More (CD-Nursing Kit)' (Elektrolux)

*Poolside: 'Bk 3 (CD-Indieglow)' (Bong Load)
*El Hombre Trajeado: 'Babosa (10" EP-Shoplift)' (Guided Missile)
:(JP: 'They did three sessions for my domestic programmes last year, you know. Unprecedented, I think: I can't remember anybody else doing that, not even the Fall.') Yet Microdisney did just that in 1984.
*Projekt 69: 'Wagons Two (12"-Ghost Train)' (i220)
