i think the box's version came from that show but some, er, idiot edited out 
the surrounding comments for the sake of brevity. i will ask, er, my friend 
and see if he can do you a fuller version. i personally like the quotes 
around the music (let's face it, john was as much as a draw as the records 
he was playing) but some people prefer them clean so... 

(is the emerlist davjack PROMO in the torrent? that has commentary by peel)
