*This show marks the first time Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark's signature song Enola Gay was heard on national radio. The song would go on to become an international hit and possibly the group's best known single, albeit in a very different form to the one recorded for Peel. The fourth track, Motion and Heart, was also heard for the first time and like Enola Gay would appear on the group's second album Organisation released in November 1980.
