  • John Peel Papers notes that the show started with 'We Are The Champions' (by Queen), instead of the usual Grinderswitch. A 3-0 win over Aston Villa at Anfield that evening had confirmed another title. Liverpool were now seven points clear of second-place WBA, who had only had three games left (two points for a win).[1]
  • Only four LKJ session tracks are listed, but Ken Garner in The Peel Sessions also includes ‘It Dread Inna Inglan.' This wasn’t played on the repeat broadcast on 04 June 1979 and it is assumed it wasn’t here either. John Peel Papers also only gives recognizable names to two of the tracks. Of the other two, ‘Talking’ is likely to have been ‘Sonny’s Letter,’ which was spoken voice only, making ‘Want Fi Goh Rave’ the unnamed second JKJ track of the night.
  • All three tracks are played from the debut Comsat Angels maxi-single, presumably a new release and first play.

  3. John Peel Papers lists only the artist, but this is among Milburn's best-known songs and seems likely to be the one played to follow the previous Fall track.
