After the first Crisis session track, Peel comments, "Well I must say that of all the contemporary varieties of rock music, it's this basic and direct variety that I like the best myself."
The Siouxsie & The Banshees track is played from an increasingly crackly acetate of the as-yet unreleased "Scream" LP.
Peel plays the final three tracks from the latest Captain Beefheart LP ('Bat Chain Puller'), having played the first three from side b the previous evening. Also three more from the new Pere Ubu LP.

Tracklisting[]
File a
Rezillos: Destination Venus (7”) Sire (recording begins halfway through song)
JP: "When I first heard this next piece, I thought, oh no! Not a confounded disco record! But then I was told a day or so later that it's actually a hip and satirical disco record, so did one of my celebrated about-turns and here it is."
Shared audio covers most of the show, other than parts of the first and last track along with three full tracks and part of another due to the tape flip.
Recording is quite distorted in places and suffers from signal drift; possibly sourced from medium wave broadcast rather than FM.
