;Comments
*First of five shows featuring the 1980 Festive Fifty.
*JP: "Listeners in the month of November were invited to send in a list of their three favourite tracks ever and I was going to... in order, y'know, whether they be album tracks or singles, and I have worked these into an attractive chart to be broadcast between now and, well, Tuesday week, tomorrow week. And it's difficult to say, actually, because I never count the cards to be honest, but I suppose that probably something of the order of six or seven thousand people bothered to write in."
*Files 2 and 4 both edited out several of the session tracks, but included the links, but all of these missing session tracks are on file 3 so the show is now complete.
