  • Tracklisting below is from Volume 2(ii) of the Decktician Logs. Many thanks to Decktician, Ken Garner for copying and additional information, and Rocker for acting as central HQ.
  • Only a fragment of the show containing the Genesis session and Peel's comments is known to survive. Tracks marked §. An unofficial fan collection of Incredible String Band session tracks suggests that before the ISB song "Restless Night", Peel comments, "This is what the Newcastle players are going to be having tonight, I suspect, fearful of the thrashing they are going to get tomorrow at Anfield." LFC won the match 5-0.[2]
  • Playlist includes two "older" tracks recently issued as singles: a posthumous release by Jimi Hendrix, with a cover version of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode"; and the Velvelettes' "Needle In A Haystack", recorded in 1964 but not issued as a single until 1972.

Footnotes[]

  1. The artist's name as transcribed by Decktician, but it has proved somewhat elusive. It may be Cajun musician Nathan Abshire from the album Pine Grove Blues, which contains a track entitled "Shamrock"
  2. KG: Bonzos track was ‘Waiting For The Wardrobe’ says PasB, but Decktician more likely to be correct.
