 * Comments
 * Full tracklisting from the PasB of the BBC Written Archives Centre.
 * Peel plays a 1966 track from the Troggs, which got re-released as a single in 1978 along with Wild Thing.
 * Peel plays three tracks from Sammy Hagar's Musical Chairs album. Hagar later became singer of Van Halen in the late 80's and 90's.
 * Peel plays three tracks from the Hope & Anchor Front Row Festival compilation album.
 * Peel plays three tracks from Patti Smith Group's Easter album. A surprising thing, as he was very much against her music. It could be because he was sympathetic to her after she broke several neck vertebrae from a concert fall before the release of Easter or he was compelled to play the tracks because of external pressure.
 * Peel plays two tracks from Blind Boy Grunt, an alias name for Bob Dylan.
 * Peel plays two tracks from Albion Band's Rise Up Like The Sun album including a cover of Mongo Santamaría's Afro Blue.
