; Comments
*(400 Box files) Possibly a contender for the lowest sound quality of a Peel show yet, sounds like a tinny transistor radio wandering around the sound stage, which does not do the reggae tracks any favours. Also, it could do with speeding up by at least 3%. Yet it is still a very interesting listen, with some sparky fresh tunes by the likes of 'Fatal' Microbes. It is left to one's imagination what this show might have sounded like blasting out of a top quality late 70s hifi or some beefy headphones under the covers...
*(Hinton Box file) A distinct improvement in SQ over the former, in rather hissy but more than bearable stereo. However, the pause button is heavily in evidence. Tracks marked §.
*(Jimmy file) Very good FM stereo. Tracks marked @

:(JP - 'And I know there are one or two people judging from the letters which that I get that there are one or two people as I say that don't care for the Undertones. This is to me - I can't imagine why that should be, it is a strange fancy but nevertheless there are such peaople. they might be saying to themselves - "well 44 minutes into the programme and Peel hasn't played Jimmy Jimmy yet, perhaps tonight we aren't going to get it."
