Comments
  • Mentions that Siouxsie & The Banshees have sort of split up (or at least the rhythm section has left the band).
  • Peel had enjoyed a curry with members of the Cravats earlier in the evening. He indicates that two of them are in the studio with him at he start of the programme. JP: "The Cravats, who are to Redditch what Robert Louis Stevenson was to Blackpool."
  • The Cravats pair are hitch hiking back to Redditch, so Peel asks listeners to look out for them and give them a lift. JP - "Ah, the romance, the glamour, the glory of being in a rock and roll band... The Shend is very big and looks menacing, but he isn't."
  • Members of the group Virginia Doesn't had met Peel at Broadcasting House and asked for a record to be played for them.
  • Both sides of the new singles by the Chords and the Skids are aired.
  • Wonders aloud when Earcom 2 will be released on Fast Product ... the one that went on to feature Joy Division.
