; Comments
*Just before playing Magazine's cover of 'Boredom', John mentions that he read in a fanzine called 'Hey Fever' that the original release of 'Spiral Scratch' (on New Hormones) was selling for 30 pounds a copy, which he thinks is 'a bit daft', and hopes that it will be re-released (the following year, it was).
*After playing Patrik Fitzgerald's 'No Fun Football', JP offers to take him up to Anfield one weekend.
*Comment after playing Blue Cheer (released in 1967): "I don't think I'll play any more from that. That's the third track I've played from it. You can have just so much nostalgia and that's enough."
*The Human League track prompts Peel to allude to their upcoming session (which was recorded just over a week later and broadcast 1978-08-16).
*Peel plays the A-side of The Reactions' only single release. The frontman and main writer of the band was Mark Hollis, later of Talk Talk fame.
