; Comments
*Start of show: “Good evening, my beauties. John Peel here in London. And one of the most discussed sessions that we have broadcast this year so far was the recent session by Wire, which consisted of one 15 and a half minute track called ‘Crazy About Love’. We repeat that in the course of tonight’s programme, along with records by the Skids, Slogans, Twinkle Brothers, Thursdays, Notsensibles, Tuxedomoon, the Merton Parkas, Home Service, Ruefrex, some tracks from the Cardiff compilation LP, and a great deal more besides. To start the programme, from Vaultage 78, the Dodgems.”
*Only around half an hour of the show on File 1, but this doesn’t include the Wire session track or most of the tracks trailed at the start of the show. Audio quality noticeably changes after the tape flip.
