 * Only a small portion of this show containing the session tracks and the surrounding Peel links is currently in existence.

Tracklisting

 * (JP: '...actually, which I've had for some time now, and it was recorded, I suppose, six, eight, nine months ago, and was broadcast on a radio station in Belfast as well at the time it was recorded. Because we couldn't get the Tearjerkers over here to record a session for us, we used this tape, which is very good: I'm not apologising for it by any means.')


 * Tearjerkers: 'Dressing Up' (Peel Session)
 * Tearjerkers: 'Murder Mystery' (Peel Session)
 * (JP: 'The band, we discovered today, just signed a contract with Phonogram Records, so they'll have a record more generally available than their previous work on Good Vibrations. Got a couple of gigs coming up as well.')


 * Clash: 'London Calling' (announced but edited out)
 * Tearjerkers: 'Comic Book Heroes' (Peel Session)
 * (JP: 'And if we get a chance sometime in the New Year, we'll get the Tearjerkers to record a session for us in our own studio.')
