:(JP: "When the Buzzcocks recorded this session for us on the 10th of April, under the sweaty hand of Tony Wilson, I must confess I thought it was rather limp, but hearing it go out again today it sounds rather good to me.")
*Steel Pulse: Jah Pickney - R.A.R. (session)
:(Referred to as ""Jah Pickney Know Them" [...] "Rock Against Racism" as well, an alternative title for you if you like. ... [This year] a lot of the reggae bands we got in to do sessions for us [but not Steel Pulse] turned out rather, kind of, middle of the road stuff in a sense, hope they don't do that in 1979.")
