;Comments
*Peel plays a couple of records from Zimbabwe brought back by Andy Kershaw including the Jairos Jiri Band and the Marxist Brothers.
*Peel plays a track from the Users after a listener wrote to him that he used to write to JP around 1976/77, when he was listening to him at the age of 14. He informs Peel that he was living in Canada for a year and now has a child and goes on to mention that the Users still shred in his mind, which Peel agrees.
*Peel mentioned that he saw Fabian once live touring with Chubby Checker and Freddy Cannon.
