[peel] John's 40th Birthday - 30th August 1979

[John Bravin]

Really enjoyed this show, thanks a lot for your work in putting this 
up.  Some obvious choices, but I loved hearing His Guiding Hand again, 
and I had never heard Liverpool 8 before. And I was surprised to hear 
him play Freda Payne's Band of Gold. As he might have said (but never 
did), one of the few hit songs about erectile dysfunction.

I always felt Peel was at his best in the late 70's, enthusiastic about 
punk and post-punk, but still comfortable with the immediate past.
