 * (JP: 'And that little set also for Dave Marshall too, sorry I left your name out at the beginning, David....from their forthcoming LP, not sure of the date of it because this is a very early copy of the record, in fact it may even be slightly remixed before it gets into your homes, but get into your homes it certainly should, because I think it's an excellent record from an excellent band, and I was rather surprised by the only polite reception they got at the Reading Festival, but I enjoyed the Reading Festival anyway, although I don't think there were any amazing musical highlights. The Festival always reaffirms my faith in human nature in a way, because there were so many agreeable people there, like the lads sleeping in the van next to ours, the members of Motors in fact, and David Goughan and a whole host of other people. The list is considerable really, if you can be bothered to make one.')

 * Gong: 'Flying Teapot (2xLP-Live Etc.)' (Virgin)
 * Adverts: 'We Who Wait' (Peel Session)
 * (JP: 'Don't forget that you can win five LPs of your choice and inflate your own ego by selecting an hour of records which you consider representative of ten years of Peel programmes, and if you send in your list, the five winners will hear their hour in the week beginning sometime about the beginning of October...that's all you need to know about that for the time being. It'll probably be explained more thoroughly by Ruth Cobbin on tomorrow night's programme.')


 * Ry Cooder: unknown (LP-Show Time)' (Warner Bros.)
