Tracklisting

 * Altered Images: 'Legionaire (LP-Happy Birthday)' (Epic)

 * Lurkers: 'I Don't Need To Tell Her (7 inch)' (Beggars Banquet)
 * (JP: 'All our yesteryears, those loveable Lurkers from way back when. I can be a real disc jockey, you know, I'm working well tonight.')
 * Talisman: 'Wicked Dem' (Peel Session)
 * (A highly amusing piece in which John roleplays alongside a Vincent Price record, after which he threatens to continue to do so for the rest of the programme.)

 * Talisman: 'Run Come Girl' (Peel Session)
