The studio was closed due to incoming Queen, so I had to make a show at home away from the professional recordning equipment. Thankfully this means I don't do any talking on this. What we have instead is a collection of timeless Leftfield Show classics, the ones I still listen to despite finding new fodder for new shows.

This is more or less the track list:
