 * Comments
 * Full tracklisting from the PasB of the BBC Written Archives Centre.
 * PasB mentions a Stefan Grossman session track as Richland Woman Blues, but on Ken Garner's Peel Sessions book, it's Requiem (For Pat Kilroy).
 * This Night Ride show was for 2 hours and was usually presented in the first hour by Peel and the second by another presenter. In this case the show seems to be presented solely by Peel according to the PasB. The last hour of the show is dominated by Jazz and easy listening, not the kind of music Peel would emphasise so much on a show - unless the PasB forgot to mention the other DJ or he had to take over the whole 2 hour show of Night Ride and play the other DJ's playlist, because of an absentee.
 * However, BBC Genome lists two presenters: "The world of words and music explored by John Peel and Jon Curle", with John Muir as producer of the entire two-hour show. The jazz orientation of the second hour may reflect Muir's tastes, starting with the Kenny Burrell track. At least four of the tracks from the second hour are from non-needletime film soundtrack albums - as was common on Night Ride.
 * Peel has Kenny Everett as guest. There are no recordings of this programme to suggest why he was a guest on the programme or what they talked about.
 * No information about who Ahmad Al Khalil & Hameed Mohammed were, but they seem to be Arab musicians.
 * Unusually or perhaps not, Peel plays most of the sessions and poetry at the beginning of the programme.
