 * Station
 * BBC Radio One


 * YYYY-MM-DD
 * 1980-04-16


 * Comments
 * Tracklisting taken from notebook entries for JLP041 and JLP042 which are pause-button recordings. File to be created and uploaded when tapes are available.
 * Bands in session are consistent with those announced by Peel toward the end of the 15 April 1980 show.
 * There was a strong football flavour to the show. Peel had been enjoying a lively team rivalry with the West Ham-supporting Cockney Rejects, and both Liverpool and West Ham had played in FA Cup semi-final replays earlier in the evening which had gone to extra time. Liverpool had drawn with Arsenal but were destined to lose the third replay (!) a fortnight later. West Ham had beaten Everton and went on to win the Cup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979%E2%80%9380_FA_Cup
