I've kept you waiting for quite a while for a new Peel show download, and here it is. Peel is in good form in this show having returned from a stint in Holland, where his gig was met with blatant indifference, so he claims. This show was to be followed by another which would form an A to Z of independent music at the time. I only hope it exists in a shoe box at the back of someone's wardrobe waiting to be rediscovered, because a lot of these songs are absolute belters, no doubt most otherwise lost forever.
Track Listing
Athletico Spit 80 – No Room (rough trade)
The Bongos – Telephoto Lens (fetish records)
Classic example of Peel being caught by surprise by end of record
Charge – You get what you deserve (ycafo records)
Classic example of next track starting early
Cheeky – Don’t mess around (woodbine street records)
Collective horizontal – Edward’s lear (dolman records)
The Cramps – Garbage Man (illegal records)
Crash course in science – kitchen motors (gogo records)
The craw daddies - lolette (voxx records)
The cult figures - I remember (rava records)
The Ds - My toy (optimistic records)
The dambusters - Production line love (deep water records)
The deadbeats - Choose you (red rhino records)
Peel monologue on the importance of independent labels
The decorators - Twilight view (new horizons records)
The denizens - Frontier (citizen records)
Mild rant about hippies
The details - Keep on running (energy records)
Digital dance - I sleep on the waves (digital records)
Discharge - After the gig (clay records)
Despite the fact that you've undoubtedly never heard any of these tracks (the cramps being a possible exception) I highly recommend this show. I actually thought that I'd cracked some Peel masterplan when I was making the track listing for this one, until Peel admitted that it was a purposeful A to Z list, not that A to Zing the songs you play would be much of a masterplan. Any luck with the jelly bellies yet?

While we're at it, although where the direct connection is I'm not sure, here's Mrs. Ravenscroft accepting JP's lifetime achievement award in May:

Can anyone explain why me text aligns itself so strangely sometimes? It's really annoying.
