  • Derby Box recording cuts in part of the way through the Rolling Stones track.
  • Three each from the new albums by the Ramones and the Cortinas and two from Wire, causing John to bemoan the lack of continuity in playing the records piecemeal.

Tracklisting

(JP: 'One of these days, Frankie Miller's going to be famous. Or perhaps he isn't, I don't know: he's been around long enough where he should be, because he sings better than most people do.') [1]
(JP: 'The only thing that actually happened to me last night was that I was woken up at about quarter past four by William, who wanted to discuss combine harvesters.')
(JP: 'Things seem to be going wrong on this programme, and I have no doubt at all that, some time before midnight, in about an hour's time, I shall take a record off when it's actually playing on the air, in the classic Dicky Lee Torpid manner.')
