Comments
  • Quite a few spoils of JP's recent German trip on the turntables tonight. They include a sampler album from Zickzack Records, whose catalogue also features Peel favourites Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle.
  • Kid Jenson is in the studio with Peel, ahead of the two of them going out for an Indian meal after the show. In preparation for this, Peel changes his trousers in the middle of one track.
  • The second cut from the Misty album (which Peel proclaims stlll his favorite LP of all time) follows a request by Jenson.
  • These tapes from the 400 Box confirm that The Smiths' first session first broadcast was indeed the following night 1 June 1983, not 31 May, as in official BBC and record company documentation.

Tracklisting[]

  1. Tracks marked # also available in FM quality on Peel Late 1984 (they are on that compilation as the tape was misdated when User:Weatherman22 was compiling the file). It's well worth hearing the breaking glass sounds on Werkzeugmacher in high sound quality!
  2. Tracks marked @ available on File e
  3. Tracks marked ~ available on File f
