- In The Peel Sessions (p.220), Ken Garner notes plays for the debut Siouxsie & The Banshees and Matumbi LPs, but neither release is featured in the available sections of the programme, which appears to be almost the final 40 minutes.
- Peel notes his own upcoming appearance on Omnibus: The Record Machine the following Thursday.
- Describes the Temple Kazoo Orchestra version of ‘Staying Alive’ as “fairly extravagant.”

- (JP: “Barry Everard of Sheffield, who occasionally lends me records but then insists on having them back, which is very irritating indeed. This is on the Boyd label, on Boyd Records of Oklahoma, With the people who bought Phil Upchurch's You Can't Sit Down, you probably remember that. The Stumps, as I say, and a perfectly extraordinary version of the Who’s ‘My Generation’ with some of the worst playing I can recall hearing in many a year”.)
- Stumps: My Generation (single – Think Of The Good Times) Boyd 2
- (JP: "Well, eventually it takes on a kind of awful fascination of its own, particularly the drumming, I think. I wonder what poor Moonie would have made of that. Those are the Stumps, and their version of My Generation. No idea when that was issued, I suppose sometime in the mid-nineteen-sixties. And, Barry, if you're listening and you ever get another copy of that, I shall be extremely grateful for one. Very fine stuff indeed. These are the UK Subs.")
- UK Subs: Live In A Car / B1C (single – CID) City
- (JP: "Those are the UK Subs, and that's the B side of their single. Actually, I still haven't seen any finished copies of the record. Perhaps they exist, perhaps they don't. When they do, though, they'll be on the City label, And that's called "Live in a Car" and "B1C." And, of course, The UK Subs - I say of course but The UK Subs are on Omnibus on next Thursday evening on BBC-1 television, along with the Mekons, the Slits, Jim Pursey, Alternative TV, the Desperate Bicycles, and the playlist committee among other things, and my good self, seen heading a football with more skill than I bet you imagined I had. So that could be well worth watching – not for my football, but for some of the points that are made in the course of the programme, which is basically about the record industry. So that's Omnibus next Thursday. Recommended unreservedly. Johnny Thunders from the LP - So Alone and this is London Boys which features Steve Jones and Paul Cook and Phil Lynott again. And I must admit at times sounds remarkably like a pastiche of works featuring formerly Johnny Rotten.")
- Johnny Thunders: London Boys (LP – So Alone) Real
- (JP: "What do you make of that, eh, John? Steve Jones and Paul Cook I must admit when they play together lift any record I think. That's Johnny Thunders and the LP So Alone on Real records. An LP which, well, is unexpectedly good, in a sense, because it's a lot of people who haven't, who don't normally play together, but it works extremely well. That was called London Boys. I was sent this next LP, which is called Lady Rock 'n' Roll, which is not a promising title, I'll admit, by somebody called Linda Keel during the week, and it's... Linda Keel is French, as far as one can tell, as is the LP is French. And all of the people involved in it seem to be, or the majority of them. And it's on Vogue Records at the moment, which is a French label. But it's going to be issued over here. And the record company concerned, which is Pye, have high hopes of the lady I must confess, and this is an appalling sexist thing to say but on the sleeve, on the front, she gets my vote any time. This is her Roxy, I'm about to sneeze. Hold on.")
- Linda Keel: Roxy (LP - Lady Rock & Roll) Vogue
- (JP: "And that's Linda Keel, about whom very little is known except that she has an LP coming out shortly to be called Lady Rock 'n ' Roll. And from it, that's Roxy and also that's going to be issued as a single, I understand. This is Andy Mackay from his LP Resolving Contradictions. The Loyang Tractor Factory, this is called.")
- Andy Mackay: The Loyang Tractor Factory (LP – Resolving Contradictions) Bronze
- (JP: 'That's Andy Mackay, and it's from the LP Resolving Contradictions, The Loy Yang Tractor Factory, because Andy went to, on holiday to China and apparently came back much stirred by what he saw there. I'd like to go myself actually, but it's rather expensive. Er, since the programme started. hundreds and nay thousands of people have written in to ask what's on Rock On tomorrow afternoon so I shall now tell you between 1:31 and 2:30 of course on Radio One and Stereo VHF. Variety is the spice of life on this Saturday's Rock On. There's Jo, no there, Joan Armatrading talking about her newfound confidence on stage and playing tracks from her new album To The Limit. Rory Gallagher is in the middle of a European tour and Rock On caught him in Hamburg to find out about life on the road and preview his latest album, Photo Finish. There's also an interview with two of the Ramones, America's top punk band. Join Bob Kilby for Rock On Saturday at 1:31 pm. And then of course from 2:30 to 5:30, Paul Gambaccini celebrating five years on Radio One and Stereo VHF with America's best selling albums and singles. And a complete rundown of the US Top Forty. Shall I go on while I'm doing well? I think I shall. From 5:31 to 6:30 it's rock and roll. Radio One and Stereo VHF also. Stuart Coleman introduces an hour of pure rock and roll with records and this week's studio guests Chas and Dave and friends. And then finally from 6:30 to 7:30. In concert on Radio One and Stereo VHF you guessed. This week Roy Harper accompanied by Andy Roberts. Now is there anything you need to know on the other page? Not I think for the time being. Here's some more of XTC in Dub as it were.')
- XTC: Dance With Me, Germany (12” EP - Go+) Virgin 2
- (JP: “Well that's XTC and the record produced by John Leckie and that's one of the five tracks, well another one of the five tracks on the little Uh, EP thing which, well, a big EP thing which goes along with the record called "Go 2." And that was "Dance With Me Germany." I must confess that eventually I suspect I shall end up by listening to more than I listen to the XTC album (Go 2), and I like the album very well indeed. The other tracks on there are "We Kill The Beast" which you played earlier. "Clap Clap Clap", a dictionary of modern marriage. "Beat The Bible" and that one which as I say was called "Dance With Me Germany." And while we're in Germany, these are Europeans.”)
- Europeans: Europeans (single) Heartbeat
- (JP: "Ah, hot to rock and roll and arguing about foreign policy, those are Europeans and that's also called Europeans on the Heartbeat label which comes to you out of 4 Melrose Place, Clifton in Bristol. These are Talking Heads and their version of Take Me To The River which has also been done, I think, to disadvantage (laughs) recently by Brian Ferry. And this is the, there is a shorter single version of it at about 3:45 but of course on this programme we chuck such things aside with a carefree laugh and play you the full length version, 5 minutes or so of Talking Heads.")
- Talking Heads: Take Me To The River (LP – More Songs About Buildings And Food) Sire
- (JP: “Well, I must confess to not being entirely in sympathy with that either. Talking Heads, the new single, which is on Sire Records, of course, Take Me To The River, and, um, an Al Green composition. On the reverse of that, uh, Found A Job, from the LP, More Songs About Buildings and Food, as indeed is Take Me To The River. These are the Buzzcocks, and from the album Love Bites, Late For The Train.”)
- Buzzcocks: Late For The Train (LP – Love Bites) United Artists
- (JP: "Ah, the Buzzcocks, and that's from the LP Love Bites, and it's called Late for the Train. Almost at the end of this week’s programmes, but this is for Ian Penman of the New Musical Express with thanks for the generous words he said about the programme, said he with his usual false modesty. This is the Temple City Kazoo Orchestra on Rhino Records. And their fairly extravagant version, it must be said, of the Bee Gees" Stayin' Alive. You'll probably like this.”)
