40 Years Ago: COCKNEY REJECTS record their second Peel session

East End Oi! COCKNEY REJECTS recorded their second John Peel session on this day in 1980. The recording aired on the 25th, sharing the session slots with STIFF LITTLE FINGERS (their fourth).

The session was recorded a few weeks before the release of Greatest Hits Vol. 1, their debut LP; although none of the songs here appear on the album.
"The Greatest Cockney Rip Off" was originally released as a single, later included with "15 Nights" and "Blockbuster" on their second album Greatest Hits Vol. II.
