 * Comments
 * Best sessions of the year and the start of the 1985 Festive Fifty.
 * Mentions he doesn’t appear to be on Cliff Richard’s mailing list any more.
 * Says he has never played two of the records on the show that are in that year’s countdown and he still doesn't have a copy of one of them. The two Sisters Of Mercy tracks in that year's F50 seem to have been the two.
 * Had to get the single version of the Husker Du Track out of the BBC library after his was stolen in Amsterdam.
 * Partial show from around half way through the sessions.
