Festive Fifty Holy Grails

[electrophotic]

1986 Festive Fifty:  Number 18 was 'This Boy Can Wait' by Wedding 
Present, but Peel played 'You Should Always Keep in Touch with Your 
Friends' (Peel had played this earlier, as it was at number 28).  
Peel didn't realize his error.  Am I the only listener to have 
noticed this? (I've got it on tape).

1988 Festive Fifty:  Number 45 was 'Bone Machine' by The Pixies, but 
Peel played the first minute or so of 'Where is my Mind' before 
realising his error.

1989 Festive Fifty:  Number 36 was 'Wave of Mutilation' by The 
Pixies, but Peel played 'I Bleed' for a minute or so, then 
said " ..well there you are, you see, I was saying that something 
terrible was going to happen this year and it's just happened because 
I've played you the wrong track.. err... and that's the first time.. 
I said, I said that I was always nervous about doing the Festive 
Fifty 'cause I knew that one of these years something appalling was 
going to happen.  This is the first time it's happened 'cause as I 
say I played you the wrong one...(cue 'Wave of Mutilation').  Later 
in the programme a listener phoned in to remind Peel that this wasn't 
the first time..

Just more of life's surface noise.
