Comments
  • The Musical Youth single was given to Peel by members of the Au Pairs probably because they shared a label - 021 Records
  • Peel gets onto the subject of recordings of sermons after playing the Brian Eno & David Byrne track, and mentions a particular favourite of his, a recording by Reverend CL Franklin that he'd like to share with the listeners but is dissuaded from doing so by the length. He says, "I've always meant to play it on the radio but it's about 18 minutes long. I think if I did play it people would think that I've gone quite mad... one of these days I'll crack completely and play it for you, you wait and see."
  • After the next track, he plays an excerpt from the recording, revealing that he'd had it with him all the time.

Sessions[]

The New Order session was released as a 12" EP by the Strange Fruit label (cat. SFPS039, 1987). The group's first two sessions were later compiled onto a single LP (cat. SFRLP110, 1990).

(Please add details of any commercial release of the Rezillos sessions)
