1983 Festive Fifty: Numbers 10-01
*10: Naturalites And The Realistics, 'Picture On The Wall (12 inch)' (Realistic)
*09: Smiths, 'Hand In Glove (7 inch)' (Rough Trade)
*JP: 'This next is taken from one of our Radio 1 sessions. There is a record of it, but so many people specified the session version that it seemed sensible to play it.'
*08: Fall, 'Eat Y'Self Fitter' (Peel Session)
*JP: 'Ah, the duelling guitars of the mighty Fall....Getting exciting, eh? I think it is. I always enjoy this, I must admit.'
*07: Billy Bragg, 'A New England (12 inch EP-Life's A Riot With Spy Vs Spy)' (Utility/Go! Discs)
*JP: 'All for the price of a mushroom biryani. Quite extraordinary.' (JP is referring to Bragg bringing him said Indian food when he referred to the fact that he was hungry on air. This led to Billy getting his first session.)
*06: Smiths, 'Reel Around The Fountain' (Peel Session) (JP: 'Definitely should have been a single.' For further information on this, see The Peel Sessions (Garner, K., BBC Books, 2007, p. 117).)

*03: New Order, 'Age Of Consent (LP-Power, Corruption And Lies)' (Factory)
*02: Smiths, 'This Charming Man (12 inch-New York Vocal)' (Rough Trade)
*JP: 'Played you the 12 inch because I thought you'd like it, and also one or two, well quite a few people specified it, in fact.'
*JP: 'Many people...asked me to fiddle the results so that this wouldn't be number one, but that would have seemed to be an unfair thing to do, and not like me at all.'
*01: New Order, 'Blue Monday (12 inch)' (Factory)
