• Peel thinks the Associates single will be a hit. Indeed it was, it peaked at number 9 in the UK singles chart.
• Peel mentions that Kid Jensen played Was Not Was' Tell Me That I'm Dreaming as the last track on his show and then says he'll play the 'grown up' version !!
• Peel also attended The British Rock and Pop Awards held at Lyceum, London on the same evening (as mentioned on 24 February 1982) so show recorded?
