- Title music is eschewed in favour of TV announcing simply, "This is Romantic Rock." Since he neglects to mention most of the sources, they are logically deducted.
- Taper: "This is the Romantic Rock special, with all songs requested by and selected by ladies. This had been pushed over the previous weeks, which date the show to 19 Feb 1988, the Friday after St Valentine's Day. This is backed up by news after the show including an IRA grenade attack in Coalisland, Co Tyrone. The Bernadette Pinto track is an amateur recording sent in as a birthday present. It was later issued by Pegasus, as per this page. Tommy mentions that a session by Wolfsbane was scheduled for this week but moved because of this Romantic Rock special and because the band were playing live tonight but not next week, so they'd be able to hear it."
