Comments
* The show features part 1 of Andy Kershaw's Pick Of The Year.
* Kershaw mentions that both Richard Thompson and Robert Ward "blew out" bookings for sessions for the programme at the last minute during the year.
* Andy says that the Pinchers track is his "reggae record of the year".
* Kershaw reveals that on Thursday he returned from a two week field recording trip to Equatorial Guinea, *"Africa's most obscure country."* He hopes to be able to broadcast extracts from his recordings on his programme in a fortnight's time, which indeed did happen (05 January 1992.)
* Tracklisting of middle section comes from the written tape inlay of L022.
