Comments

• Something of an all-star line-up for the sessions, repeating the combination of 22 April 1981.
• Apologies for possibly sounding, “what old hippies used to call laid back.” That evening had just done his first live Top Of The Pops. “You wouldn’t realize this because I look so cool and suave and in control of everything, but I get into such a state before I do them.” After the initial sense of relief once it’s over, he wants to “have a bit of a lie down.”
• Plays wrong side of single by Liverpool band Cook Da Books, then touring with the Undertones, but then plays the intended song as well.
• Informs us that the track by Divine that finishes off the show was written and produced by Tony Orlando of 'Tie A Yellow Ribbon' fame.
