*(Background of tape, including who made it, theme if any, notable songs, interesting Peel comments, etc)
*This is an audio recording of the stereo FM broadcast.
*A rare live studio simulcast performance, on a Saturday afternoon in 1984. This was the only way at the time to enjoy live music on TV in stereo. It was introduced by Richard Skinner (Peel was not involved). 
*Part of 'Rock Around The Clock', a 15 hour marathon broadcast from 3.15 PM. Also featured live performances by bands such as The Cure, Aztec Camera, Simple Minds, The Pretenders and Van Morrison.
*Various technical glitches including out of tune guitars, slow drum machines, and inexpert use of sequencers and faders made this a tetchy performance, complete with pre-watershed utterances. In his autobiography "Fast Forward: Confessions of a Post-Punk Percussionist: Volume II" (Hachette UK, 2020), drummer and keyboardist Stephen Morris tells of the difficulties he and Gillian Gilbert had experienced in pre-programming the synthesisers and drum machine and how they arrived only just in time for the live broadcast due to Bank Holiday traffic.
