Just over half of the show survives on this recording. This was pieced together from a partially recorded over tape.
JP mentions that the Flys came to see him with a crate of ale: bribery and corruption obviously worked, as he plays four tracks from their new album, commenting afterwards that they sound a bit like Gary Numan.
Sessions[]
Virginia Doesn't, one and only session. Recorded 1979-10-03. No known commercial release. Moreover, according to The Peel Sessions, it does not appear that this was ever repeated. Track 'Telephone Box' missing from this recording. The same track was, however, played on Lee and Herring's Radio 1 show some time in 1995 - regular contributor Kevin Eldon was the band's vocalist.
Disco Zombies: 'Time Will Tell (EP-The Invisible EP)' (Wizzo)
Virginia Doesn't: 'Tuesday Night (On A Housing Estate)' (Peel Session)
(JP: 'This is a record which Mike Read has been playing a great deal, and it might possibly get into the chart one of these days, although I think perhaps its chances of doing that are past, but if it does, I want to make sure that people think it was due to me and not him.')
(JP: 'They seem to have an obsession about getting thumped. Why can't they write songs about kissing girls? Or boys, if it comes to that? Although I hope in my case it doesn't.')
Prince Far-I: 'Call On I In Trouble (LP-Free From Sin)' (Trojan)
(JP: 'In view of what I was saying earlier on about a Two-Tone backlash, I feel rather like a chap who's dived off a diving board into a swimming pool, only to discover halfway down that the pool's been drained, because we have a session from the Selecter on Monday night's programme and a second session from the Specials. Those of you who don't care much about fashion will probably listen to that: I hope you do, anyway.')
Specials: 'It's Up To You (LP-The Specials)' (Two-Tone)
Tracks: 'Home'
Secret Affair: 'Let Your Heart Dance (7 inch)' (I-Spy)
