Studio guest Tammo de Jongh wrote books on mysticism and psychology, and did the artwork for the sleeve of King Crimson's LP In The Wake Of Poseidon.
Peel also talks to Jim Haynes, co-founder of International Times, founder of the London Arts Lab and one of the major figures of the late 1960s underground scene. He moved to Paris and became famous for hosting weekly open house dinner parties at his home, from 1978 until his death in 2021.[1][2]
Felix Scorpio (Nom-de-plume of underground journalist Felix de Mendelssohn, b.1944, d.2016) is the guest poet. He wrote for International Times, Friends and the German magazine Twen and also contributed to Michael Horovitz's anthology Children of Albion: Poetry of the Underground in Britain. He was narrator of the 1970 documentary film Getting It Straight in Notting Hill Gate, which featured Quintessence, Vytas Serelis and others[3]. In 1971 he was arrested in Northern Ireland while reporting on the Troubles and was suspected of terrorist sympathies[4] but soon released. He later moved to Austria and became a professional psychoanalyst and university professor[5]. Most of the online info on him (which includes some YouTube videos) deals with this stage of his career.
