; Comments
*Start of show: 'Hello again, folks. On tonight's programme, two sessions: the first a repeat of the recent one by Generation X, and the other from the band with the most thoroughly bizarre recording career of the past couple of years. That's Joy Division, their first for us. And also, despite the generally bleak reviews, more tracks from Bill Nelson's Red Noise...and the whole nightmarish panoply of looters, corrupters, resurrection men and crackpots: but we'll start with something clean and wholesome.'
*Reads a list of acts students want to see in college in America, concluding with the Eagles, and adds, 'Aren't you glad you don't live over there?'
*A relatively rare play for Frank Zappa. Peel describes the track as "a bit dreary".

*JP: 'I must confess, I think that Bob Sargeant makes the band sound a lot harder than Ian Hunter does on the LP: but, mind you, I suppose that kind of softness is what you require to get off the ground in America, and if you don't believe me, each week, I chastise myself with scorpions while reading the American trade papers to find out what, if anything, is going on over there. And very little is, let me tell you.'
