; Comments
*Extended Grinderswitch intro as Peel complains of not having got his opening notes ready in time due to Mike Read chatting to him.
*JP has a cold. Comment on this: "Have you noticed that, when I get colds...I've said this to you before...my voice gets very sexy, doesn't it? No? Oh well. if that's the attitude you're going to take, you know what you can do!"
*Peel notes that Madness are at #23 in the Top 40 singles chart with 'The Prince'. JP says that he prefers the session version. Later on he says that he can't wait to see them live in concert.
*He is pleased to have received a postcard from Norway from the group Crisis, who were on tour there.
*The last 7 tracks on File 1 in this recording are not in broadcast order. A likely explanation is that the show was recorded until the end of the tape, which was then rewound and the contents taped over beginning with the Revillos track. NB that explanation can't be right as the content following the Revillos as evidenced by the Derby Box tape was found later on the 400 Box tape.
