Not so sure the Leicester tape was stolen as such. Borrowed might be a nicer word. Johnny Green who thought it was from Cardiff gave the tape to a friend who later sold the tape to someone in Camden who pressed up the vinyl bootlegs. Hence it being mis-titled.

Wish the BBC still had the full AM recording. I doubt it still exists as I'm sure it would've been replayed by now.

Was it ever confirmed it was broadcast by radio one? Always just sounded like a soundboard to me.

Back in '77 the BBC didn't have FM but broadcast in AM and medium wave. I'm convinced it's a radio broadcast. I think it's been said the BBC also recorded the Buzzcocks and some of The Slits.

Radio 1 originally broadcast on 1215 kHz AM (or 247 metres). On 23 November 1978, the station was moved to 1053 kHz and 1089 kHz (275 and 285 m), but did not broadcast nationally on its own FM frequencies until late 1987. The BBC had been allocated three FM frequency ranges in 1955, for the then Light Programme (now BBC Radio 2), Third Programme (now BBC Radio 3) and Home Service (now BBC Radio 4) stations. Thus when Radio 1 was launched, there was no FM frequency range allocated for the station, the official reason being that there was no space, even though no commercial stations had yet launched on FM. Because of this, from launch until the end of the 1980s Radio 1 was allowed to take over Radio 2's FM transmitters for a few hours per week. These were Saturday afternoons, Sunday teatime and evening – most notably for the Top 40 Singles Chart on Sunday afternoons; 10 pm to midnight on weeknights including Sounds of the Seventies until 1975, and thereafter the John Peel show (Mon–Thurs) and the Friday Rock Show; and most Bank Holiday afternoons, when Radio 2 was broadcasting a Bank Holiday edition of Sport on 2.
