  • Start of show: 'And guess who's going to both Belgium and Finland within the next couple of weeks. [1] On tonight's programme we got the Radio One debut of the Mangrove Steel Band and a repeat of a recent session from That Petrol Emotion. Lots of intriguing records as always, well at least I think so, we start with the Stupids'.
  • Peel mentioned seeing the Mangrove Steel Band on television about 18 months ago and thought it would be nice to have them do a session for the show. He then forgot about it until he saw a sticker on Marylebone Road, London saying 'Support The Mangrove Steel Band', which he decided that he must get them in to do a session.
  • Peel says that Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show will be a thrash night special between 10 and midnight, which he said he will look forward to listening to it.
  • Peel plays a track from the Descendents called 'All', which only lasts for one second long.
