John Peel writes:
'It may be that the current "Mod" revival. which has caused an appreciable number of concerned young persons to affect parkas, ride scooters and pretend to remember The Who and the Small Faces, is already past its peak. However, it has been no less welcome than the Punk upheaval of three years ago, being, as far as one can tell, a genuinely spontaneous reaction against the increasing joylessness and "artiness" of post-Punk music. To the casual passer-by what counts, as always, is the music and the best of this comes from The Chords and from Secret Affair, both of whom are featured in tonight's programme. The Chords turn in four thunderous tracks which would have drawn whistles of admiration from Who fans a decade ago and Secret Affair's contribution is highlighted by a stirring reading of The Miracles's classic "Going to a Go-Go".'
