CRANES recorded their first of two Peel sessions on this day in 1989. The session was played on the Wednesday programme, ten days later.
On the same programme John played a couple of numbers ("Exhume to Consume" and "The Missing Link") from the Grindcrusher compilation - Earache's sampler album featuring a glut of classic songs from their 1989 roster (MORBID ANGEL, CARCASS, REPULSION, GODFLESH, SORE THROAT, NOTURNUS, ENTOMBED, BOLT THROWER, HERESY, NAPALM DEATH, and on and on!)
