;Comments
*Peel plays the "very, very slow version" of Rescue before re-cueing.
*John returned that night from a week off, spent in the Netherlands (compering the Pinkpop festival - see Gigography) and Germany. He mentions playing football at the festival with Simple Minds and plays a live track from the band's set there.
*Peel met some of the members of Die Toten Hosen while in Germany the previous week. They'd drunk Bommerlunder schnapps in a "most peculiar little bar" in Düsseldorf. Peel verdict: "extraordinary stuff... the nearest thing that I can imagine is anything like it to drink is one of those highly volatile and unstable fuels that the Germans used to power their rocket planes during the Second World War."
*Whilst in Amsterdam, Peel had paid handsomely to buy copies of the NME and Melody Maker to find that both had made 'Pills And Soap' by the Imposter single of the week. This was Elvis Costello in (thin) disguise.
