; Comments
*Bank Holiday Monday. Peel informs us that he hadn't left the house a great deal over the weekend and had spent a lot of time listening to the radio, "..with every arse bragging about their programmes..", and reads out a list of the artists whose sessions had been broadcast during April, "..and if these bands turned up in your town to play for nothing you'd be pretty pleased about it..". 
*Adam and the Ants' single Stand and Deliver, which opens the show, would be announced as the new UK no.1 two days later.
*Peel reads out the Independent charts as will feature in the week's Record Mirror/Sounds. He says he receives the charts "..a day or two ahead of the rest of you..and quite rightly so..". Discharge are at no.1 and The Fall are a new entry at no.15 and mentions he will play a track from the Slates EP later.

== Sessions ==
*Associates #1, recorded 28th April 1981, first broadcast. Available on The Peel Sessions and The Radio One Sessions Volume One 1981-1983
* Josef K #1, recording date unknown, repeat, originally broadcast 24 March 1981. This was not a BBC recorded session. According to the Josef K Biography at LTM Recordings, several tracks from their shelved (but much later, released) album Sorry For Laughing were sent to the BBC for broadcast as a Peel session, these must have been Endless Soul and No Glory. Chance Meeting and Pictures were for the single. Endless Soul was also released on NME C81 and later Young And Stupid / Endless Soul . Later compilation Entomology also contained Endless Soul, and the single Chance Meeting / Pictures. So all of the "session" tracks were released commercially at some point.
