Mike Read writes:
'After having been engaged to the mid-evening bit of Britain's number 1 wireless station for seven weeks. Aunty has now done the decent thing and made an honest disc-jockey of me - no more hastily-snatched illicit evenings together, it's all above-board now. But still whole gangs and tribes of energetic records (eh?). A typical week's selection? On the more commercial front, Boomtown Rats, Sham 69, Elvis Costello and the Specials; up and coming types like Secret Affair, Madness, Quads, Starjets and Tourists; plus a bit of the edge-of-the-plank stuff and some startling oldies (i.e. not run-of-the-mill). If you listen, you'll be surprised - if you don't, I will be!'
