  • Track listing below is from Volume 3 of the Decktician Logs. Many thanks to Decktician, Ken Garner for copying and additional information, and Rocker for acting as central HQ.
  • The band Sky played here were an American country-rock band, rather than the better-known British-Australian band of that name formed later in the 1970s, whose members included classical guitarist John Williams, former member of Curved Air Francis Monkman and prolific session musician Herbie Flowers, yet were completely ignored by Peel.
  • Andy Roberts's song 'Living In The Hills Of Zion' is about a visit to a Rastafarian community in Jamaica - an example of how at this time reggae was beginning to influence artists working in other musical styles.

Footnotes
  1. Decktician notes 'Louisiana Ride' here, but it is possible that Peel may have played two concurrent tracks from the LP, 'Louisiana' and 'Ride On Mary', since there is no mention of Decktician's track in the LP listing. Ken claims it is 'Louisiana Line', but the scan is pretty unmistakeable, and there is no such song on the LP either.
  2. Misspelt 'Simandi' in original log.
