This show is a belter, Peel eschewing the popular disco music of the era in favour of these abrasive tunes. I know it's starting to seem like I'm a bit obsessed with the punk era, but I figure you'll like these shows as these are the ones that you won't be able to find so easily elsewhere on the net, plus the fact that I am a bit obsessed with the punk era.

No pun intended, but I'm losing track over which peel recordings I have. Time to overhaul that database of mine I think.
Thank you Adam. Keep up the good work :)
The last track is Boredom by the Buzzcocks.
Are you tuscarara?

Thanks Mr. Sizzler, or can I call you Yank?
Yes, I'm tuscarara, although that's an old nom de plume that I'm phasing out.
Hope you approve of the blog. See you soon on Soulseek.
Wow! I don't believe it. This was the actual very first John Peel show I ever heard. It changed my life. Totally turned me on to music.
Do you have the rest of the show on tape, or is this 30 min extract all that now exists?
Many many thanks. This programme is my absolute Holy Grail!!
Thanks a lot for that. It's comments like these that make it all worthwhile!
Thanks entrailicus :)
Do you have any more of this particular show on tape? ... or do you know who it came from originally?
I would be willing to pay good money to get hold of a more complete recording of this show.
