First appearance on the show of Echo, the drum machine that had one quarter voting rights in Echo And The Bunnymen before the band recruited Pete De Freitas as an actual drummer. Hold on, Echo wasn't actually the name of the drum machine but that was the popular misconception in 1979 when they released their first record, so let's go with the legend. 'Read It In Books' is basically the same song as 'Books' by The Teardrop Explodes. I'll stop there before this turns into a Rock Family Tree.
Best song title in the show is When Our Love Passed Out On The Couch. Best band name is The Pop Group. Best idea of the night is the decision to avoid any April Foolery, even though technically speaking the show does qualify as a First of April production.
