 * Comments
 * Peel's introduction: "Liverpool 3 Derby County nil, that's what you really want to know; Irwin, Johnson and an own goal. And it seems appropriate because Dalglish played a blinder according to our sports desk, that two of the bands featured tonight are from Scotland and the other one comes from Liverpool."
 * Artists listed as being amongst the records in the show are the Cramps, Undertones, Nathan Skyers, Elvis Costello, Prince Allah, Carson High, Disco Zombies, Elti Fits, Whirlwind, Errol Scorcher, Jimi Hendrix, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, IQ Zero, Prince Buster, Guns for Hire, Pop Group and Delta 5.
 * The show includes a travel bulletin to the effect that certain bus routes in London will not be running overnight due to unofficial industrial action. "And that will be immensely interesting to those of you living in Galashiels".
 * Peel gives the IQ Zero single another play after receiving a request to do so, allegedly written by the mum of one of the band members.
