 * Comments


 * Show is devoted to the final 33 records from the 40 that Peel plays over two nights to mark his 40th birthday. Due to time restrictions, the first seven were played the previous evening, 29 August 1979. A full list of the 40 from one of the music papers appears here. These don't appear to be in the order played, but Peel says they aren't necessary his favourite 40 records anyway. Rather, they are the 40 he would like to hear at his birthday party.
