Top of the Pops 813 – transcription disc of radio show

This is a vinyl record with a recording of a complete radio show from 4 June 1980. It features Pulling Mussels (From The Shell) with an introduction on Side 1, but is without the track on Side 2. It was licensed to be broadcast as a radio show in other territories.

Side 1: Electric Light Orchestra – I’m Alive / Peter Gabriel – No Self Control / Matchbox – Midnight Dynamos / Stiff Little Fingers – Nobody’s Hero / UK Subs – Teenage / Squeeze – Pulling Mussels (From The Shell) / Paul McCartney – One Of These Days / The Specials – Rat Race

Side 2: Various – Programme Trailer / Electric Light Orchestra – I’m Alive / Matchbox – Midnight Dynamos / Stiff Little Fingers – Nobody’s Hero / UK Subs – Teenage / Paul McCartney – One Of These Days / The Specials – Rat Race

The sleeve says, “Copyright recording for radio broadcast only”

The most interesting thing about this disc is that the version of Pulling Mussels (From the Shell) is the one recorded by Squeeze in session for Kid Jensen and is commercially unavailable. The three tracks recorded for this session (14 December 1979) were not included on ‘The Complete BBC Sessions’ CD because the BBC can’t find the master tape.
