Comments

• Full tracklisting from the PasB of the BBC Written Archives Centre.
• Peel has a session from Skrewdriver, who became known for attracting violence at their shows. They broke up in 1979 and singer Ian Stuart re-formed the group in 1982 as a White Power neo-Nazi skinhead band, with entirely different (and often revolving) band members. In 1993 Ian Stuart died in a car accident.
• Peel plays a track from Australian band The Saints covering Connie Francis' Lipstick On Your Collar.
• Peel plays three tracks from Steeleye Span (Storm Force Ten), Rod Stewart (Foot Loose & Fancy Free) and two from Rick Wakeman's Criminal Record albums.

1. ↑ The PasB mentions the track as Landlord, but it is not recognised. However, there is a Mr. Landlord, but sources on the internet say it was released in 1979.
