Peel first played tracks from Red Beat in October 1980 via their debut single, Machines In Motion. Further material from the group were played on his shows including a session they recorded for his programme in December 1980. After 1982, there doesn't seem to be any evidence according to the tracklistings on this site of Peel playing any further material from the group.
