1982 Festive Fifty: Numbers 40-36

• JP: 'I was very very pleased to see this at number 38 in this year's chart, should have been higher in my estimation, but I'm glad it was there at all.'
• 38 (FF): Serious Drinking, 'Love On The Terraces (7 inch)' (Upright)
• (Simon Bates trailer for Frontline, a current affairs programme.)
• 37 (AT): Sex Pistols, 'Holidays In The Sun (LP-Never Mind The Bollocks' (Virgin) (However, John appears to be playing a rather poor off-centre pressing, which thus could have been from the 7 inch.)
• JP: 'Although you obviously don't agree, I still think that's their best record.'
• JP: 'At number 37, very pleased to discover this.'
• 37 (FF): Cocteau Twins, 'Wax And Wane (LP-Garlands)' (4AD)
