or, as it now seems, grown up oppression, from yer'man sharky.

I remember lots of Joy Division tracks being played, this is as good as any. 

This is the only John Cale track I can remember from the early days.

Everyone knows John Peel was a big Fall fan, I remember this one from the program.

How would I ever have heard of groups like Modern English.

I had a remnant of open reel tape with John Peel saying "Wah Heat, useful group that"

I still have vivid memories of John Peel saying Deutsh - Amerikainische Freundschaft, quite often, I think, like me, he liked the sound of it and the way it rolls of the tongue.

Another one of those cuts that I'm sure only John Peel ever played

Of course John Peel used to play plenty of excellent Reggae, but Nina Hagen's Reggae makes a good contrast.

Another one I remember being played a lot.

You couldn't go wrong with a band called Our Daughters Wedding back in the early eighties. I'm pretty sure John Peel came close to playing every good record that came out, at this time, if not every one. 

Crass a seriously militant band, I hope there are bands that are showing the same militancy towards the grinning thing, his yes men, and the erosion of our civil liberties today.

Girls At Their Best, I like them.

Although John Peel wasn't given to unnecessary blabbering, he still managed to give good information on the records he played and quite often some anecdote, or interesting remark. He would have given adequate info on  this group but I couldn't have taken it in. I always imagine they came from America but they could well be from Nun Eaton.
