26 August 1985 (BBC World Service)

Show[]

Start of show: "If you in one of the parts of the world privileged to hear this programme on Friday Aug. 30, then it is my birthday today. I thought you would want to know in case you fancied some simple but affecting domestic celebration in honour of the event. I'm John Peel on the BBC World Service. I have a selection of dandy records for you, including the Boothill Foot Tappers."
Two tracks played from the compilation The Waking Dream.
JP notes how few Sex Pistols songs had cover versions over the years – although there is one here from the Scarecrows. The track was later covered in a Peel session by Galaxie 500

Boothill Foot Tappers: Love And Affection (7”) Mercury
John doesn't care for the first track very much and can't see it doing anything in the charts. He also wonders what the record company think the band might be up to. Begs the question, why is he playing it, when he only has 30 minutes to play with....
Lost Cherrees: Consider The Challenge (12 EP - Unwanted Children) Mortarhate
Nightingales: What A Carry On (12”) Vindaloo
Magic Mushroom Band: Magick Eye (v/a LP – The Waking Dream) Psycho
Bodines: Paradise (v/a LP – Different For Domeheads) Creation
Scarecrows: Submission (12” - The Deep End.Jade.) Swordfish
Fire: Stars (Looking Up At) (12”) Big Step
Green Telescope: Turnin' Out (v/a LP – The Waking Dream) Psycho
