 * Comments
 * Peel explains that both Walters and office secretary Janice were off sick during the day, so he had to do all the work for the show, including answering the telephone. He resorts to reading the music press while the records are playing in order to discover what gigs, if any, his session guests have coming up.
 * Peel is unsure of the pronunciation of the word 'Shamen' and admits, "the ludicrous thing is that I spoke to a member of the band on the phone this very morning. I should have cleared up the pronunciation of it with him then."
 * Recording is missing the first 45 minutes from this show.
