 * Comments
 * Many thanks to Jim for a short file "recorded on a Grundig TK141 via microphone off MW broadcast on our radiogram." It features the beginning of the show and a session track by Man.
 * (Announcer: Radio 1 on 247 metres and VHF with Sounds Of The Seventies. Tonight, Top Gear with John Peel.')
 * (JP: 'I scared meself to death at the beginning of that 'cos I got the wrong switch on, and all I could hear was Radio 2 and it said, "This is Graham Freer." I said, there's no way that I'm Graham Freer. Anyway, it all seems to work out now. Are you alright? Alright. Thumbs up sign or something.')
