02 April 1980

== Show ==
; Name
*John Peel Show
; Station
*BBC Radio One
; YYYY-MM-DD
*1980-04-02
; Comments
*File b named incorrectly has this show as being from the day before.
*Vapors session tracks now available in stereo.
*Peel plays a sequence of two favourite tracks from the hippy era, with similar titles - "Gold And Silver", an instrumental by Quicksilver Messenger Service (their take on Dave Brubeck's "Take Five"), and Country Joe & The Fish's song "Silver And Gold".
*An outtake intro to show is available on 11 June 1981 (John Walters). An outtake would seem to fit the known facts (see 03 April 1980 for confirmation that this show was pre-recorded).
