; Comments
*Peel says that he listened to between 4 and 5 hundred demo tapes during the week. About 8 were ok, the remainder were "nothing really terrific and nothing really quite extraordinarily bad". In the course of doing that he found a package of records from Vancouver by the band Pointed Sticks. They sounded like a late 70s band, but he wasn't sure for how long the records had been where he found them, nor whether he'd played them before on the show.
*In last week's show, Peel had been celebrating the fact that the roadworks on the Bury St Edmunds bypass had come to an end. "I would maintain that it is the most dug up stretch of road in all of Britain", he says. Sadly, this week the road was once again undergoing maintenance: "...contraflows and cones and one side of the road closed entirely for resurfacing. £8m apparently, they've spent on it so far. I suppose they can close a few more wards and do the whole thing all over again next year. Loads of fun."
*He had been to see Chapterhouse at the Junction in Cambridge on Thursday 4 April. Fatigue prevented him from staying for the entire set "but the bit I saw seemed pretty neat. How's that for a not a terrifically committed review?"
*The show is now complete
