Comments
  • Peel plays both sides of the new single from Devo. He introduces the b-side with the words, "what sort of score are you boys looking for when Liverpool visit Maine Road on Saturday?" (the song begins with a count of "1,2 1,2"). The match itself finished Manchester City 1-4 Liverpool.
  • The Roy Brown track was not the one Peel intended to play. He blames incorrect labelling on the record.

Other
  • 1) Digitised by Weatherman22 from T023 and T024 of 400 Box. Roughly the first and third quarters of the show, it appears the second quarter was recorded over.

  • 3) Created from DB004 and DB005 of Derby Box, digitised by RF
  • 4) Many thanks to Jimmy. Created from JS17 of JS Tapes, digitised by Weatherman22. Perhaps better quality even than the Derby Box.
