(JP: “The first from Punishment Of Luxury.”)

• Punishment Of Luxury: Let’s Get Married / You’re So Beautiful (session)

(JP: “A marriage of Adam & The Ants and Decca Records seems a most peculiar thing, and here’s the first consequence of that marriage.”)

• Adam & The Ants: Young Parisians (single) Decca

(JP: “Well, I rather care for that, I must confess.”)

• Linda Keel: Le Rein Fait Du Trottoir (LP – Lady Rock N Roll)

(2)

• Culture: This Train (single) High Note

• 999: Brightest View (LP – Separates) United Artists
• 999: High Energy Plan (LP – Separates) United Artists
• Peter Hammill: Trappings (LP – The Future Now) Charisma

(JP: “And that a song chosen to coincide with tonight’s Omnibus, which I hope you watched. If you didn’t it won’t have relevance at all.”)

• Dr Feelgood: Nighttime (session)

(JP: (“And producer John Walters is currently vacationing in the barbarous splendor of his mother’s house in the Isle Of Wight, but he would regard this as being a programming touch worthy of himself. We follow Night Time with White Night.”)

• Lines: White Night (single) Linear
• Skids: Sweet Suburbia (single) Virgin

(JP: “I wonder why none of my colleagues made that their record of the week – Peter Powell or Kid Jensen or even Paul Burnett. Could have done, but they didn’t … This is the next from Punishment Of Luxury, and it’s called Babylon, and I’m afraid there are one or two rude words in the course of this, but they are in a kind of Biblical contexts, so you probably won’t find them too offensive.”)
