; Comments
*First play of Altered Images Depeche Mode and New Order debut singles. In his apparent excitement over the debut Altered Images single (of which both sides are played) Peel forgets (by his own admission) to announce the arrival of the debut New Order single at the beginning of the programme.
*There is some debate about the meaning of 'eon' as in Modern Eon. Peel says he remembers the word "aeon" from his "classical education". On consulting the Oxford Dictionary and reading out a definition, he concludes that they are two different spellings of the same word.
