;Comments
*Mentioned in the introduction but not on the available recording are tracks by Shake and Kevin Coyne.
*Peel had listened to Andy Peebles presenting the Radio One breakfast show that morning This was the DJ's first day of a seven week stint sitting in for usual breakfast presenter Dave Lee Travis, who had taken an extended summer break. R1 schedule for the day. after being woken at 5:45 am by children William and Alexandra. JP: "Very good it was too, he just got on with it, no messing, lots of music and it was a real treat."
*John recommends the A side of the Surprises single ("Jeremy Thorpe Is Innocent"), describing it as "scurrilous but fairly funny, and I'm afraid unbroadcastable."
*Plays a snatch of the Bee Gees in response to a request (presumably made tongue-in-cheek) from pupils at Oundle School in Northamptonshire. JP: "Well, you asked for it..."
*Derby Box recordings comprises the opening 47 minutes of the programme.
*400 Box segment contains 40 minutes of the 2 hour show. Seems to be towards the end of the show as JP states the latter session tracks are "the last tonight from ..."
