Testcard F - John Peel session rec. 18/12/82

[@Mrpaulmorris1]

What treasures! I was 16 years old - 38 years ago. My mate taped this and gave it to me. It was the beginning of my passion for electronic music. I loved John Peel and this was my favourite session ever.

This is one of the 1st Peel sessions I ever taped... (gasp) 33 years ago.

Me too!

Blanket Expression. One of my favourite songs ever. Great to hear it so clear when all I had was a muffled recording from the original broadcast all those years ago. Thanks for uploading this.

Fond memories of "Bandwagon Tango" from 1983 or thereabouts; made even fonder by the fact that Norfolk is where I grew up. A band definitely worth introducing to today's generation, who seem to be sadly missing out on decent music!

They're still going, just released a new single. Different singer but she sounds just like the previous two singers! 🤩😍

Rock and Roll indeed! I was at the gig at Norwich's Gala Ballroom the following day where Testcard F played with Screen 3 - and the Kamikaze Sex Pilots were supposed to play but part of the band didn't turn up, to Jon Ward's horror. During the Testcard F set, Vince played his synth on his customary ironing board stand. I have a feeling it broke down at one stage. After Testcard F, Vince Rogers teamed up with 'Brick' Smith to form Gee Mister Tracey.
