How to interpret ‘xxd’ command output

So, favouring the command xxd -b filename over hexdump -C filename to get the actual 1s and 0s of a binary file, i get this output from a file:

Now the binary itself is not a problem, it looks to be hexadecimal which is fairly simple to decode, however, can anyone identify what these non binary columns signify? I assume that the columns 2 to 7 are the actual binary of the file, which leaves columns 1 and 8 which are definitely not binary, but have no stated purpose either as in no column headings.

So can anyone tell me what the columns on the other side of the binary are for and what they are telling me?

Thanks in advance.
