Beefheart interview only, with a few tracks (not all of them complete): it is also available online as a stream at the Captain Beefheart Radar Station site (without the tracks).
On the music front, it appears to be a Sixties and Liverpool night on the Peel wingding, with sessions from two Merseybeat stalwarts of yesteryear (plus Manchester-born Wayne Fontana from the same era), and all the records dating back to the previous decade (other than one track from the first Faces album, released in 1970), including many old favourites. In The Peel Sessions, Ken quotes John Walters’ verdict on the show in 1992 as “must have been one of Peel’s funny periods.” (pg 288).
It might be noted that the Merseybeat theme came just ahead of the closure of the original Cavern Club in Liverpool’s Matthew Street the following month (the final headliner, on 27 May, was Supercharge).
