Comments
  • The Hinton Box recording has a few pause-button edits and is a little hissy, but the final 25 minutes of the show is mostly complete.
  • Newly available Derby Box is the complete show. Unusually, the Hinton Box version is somewhat clearer in sound quality.
  • A re-rip of the Derby Box show with clearer sound now available at File 3
  • Peel mentions that the Tom Robinson track is co-written by Peter Gabriel.
  • Bob Last of Fast Product has sent Peel an interesting list of upcoming music, although is disappointed he has failed to send him the cassette he had promised.
  • Peel says he prefers the B-side to the new Clash single, rather than the A-side.
  • He plays tracks by both Joe Jackson and the Skids who will be guests on the show "next Monday" (the next show after this).
  • The DJ is pleased about new music coming out of Liverpool (as opposed to the usual Manchester), also having read an article in the latest Melody Maker on the subject, and plays two singles released on the city's Zoo label.
  • Peel remebers seeing Betty Davis in concert and "fancied" her. he wonders what she is doing now and hasn't been able to find out.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'If I was any good at imitations and I hadn't got a cold, I'd now do an imitation of Anne Nightingale dedicating that to six students in Sussex called Stephen, but as it is, I won't....A couple of Stackridges have gone on, as I say, to become Korgis.')
(JP: 'This is the Monochrome Set. Is this the last from them? Indeed it is.')
(JP: 'You want a good rousing old-fashioned rock'n'roll instrumental? Well, you're getting one anyway.')
  • unknown #
(JP: 'Well, a listener sent me that about two years ago and I've been grateful ever since. Can't remember who it was: you too could fade into obscurity by sending me rare and valuable records.')
