Makes sense that he would play these together in their entirety - at the time 
they were pretty much his favourite bands, and this was his last show before 
Christmas - a little present for the listeners. (as well as maybe hitting the 
road back to Peel acres a little early for his Christmas break - ever noticed 
that Pete Tong's Essential selection on a Friday night always ends with a 
25-minute hotmix - this is because he pre-records his closing announcement and is 
on his way to Heathrow or maybe Leicester by the time the show ends - Friday 
nights being half the week's income for the jobbing club DJ)

Peelie didn't often play entire sessions en bloc - off the top of my head I 
think he did for Joy Division, and Nirvana - after the deaths of their 
respective frontmen - and of course The Fall ones that time he played every Fall 
session to date.
