 * Comments
 * This is a short extract from a Wednesday night show, between 10.30-10.45 p.m., hosted by JP that predates the Perfumed Garden and is to date the earliest known recording of him on UK radio. His presentation style is far more upbeat than usual, but is a fascinating example of how he used to sound, despite the low quality. Kenny Everett is mentioned, as John has played one of his records.
