Comments
  • Appears to be the first play of Killing Joke, and Peel features all three tracks from their debut release. Says he thought the record was so good he called up to check they were a genuine band and not someone famous. Also booked them for a first session. Announces ‘Nervous System’ as ‘Turn To Red’ and is phoned by an unnamed band member to correct him. Peel claims the label is confusing.
  • Two of the Flys are in the studio with Peel. The Martha & The Muffins track is played for their mothers.
  • Plays the final three tracks from the Avon Calling compilation, as well as four from Earcom 2, including two from Joy Division, plus the new Joy Division single.
  • Show is now complete with the Derby Box share now including the intro and full first track by Killing Joke

(Radio One jingle)

(JP: “Couple of treats coming up later in the week, one of them tomorrow night, when Andy Peebles makes his debut on Top Of The Pops. And I bet he’s dead nervous, and I hope he does well because he’s a good lad. I shall be watching anyway. And I do Roundtable this weekend, Kid Jerkin’s Roundtable, with Graham Parker and Ellen Foley – I don’t know either.”)
