Show

Name

• John Peel Show

Station

• BBC Radio One

YYYY-MM-DD

• 1980-01-28

Comments

• The 400 Box recording of this show is extremely short and includes one track that seems to have been added from a vinyl copy.
• The version from BH003 of the Hinton Box, although slightly distorted, is of better quality and includes more of the show (albeit with edited Peel links). These tracks are marked with a §.
• 92 minutes now available from the Derby Box in excellent quality. So only 12 minutes or so are missing.
• Peel announces he has "the worst sore throat" he's ever had in his life, "but in the great Judy Garland tradition, the show must go on".

Sessions

• Piranhas, #3. Recorded 1980-01-16. No known commercial release.
• Public Image Limited, one and only session (rpt).  Recorded 1979-12-10. Available on compilation box set Plastic Box (Virgin).
