 * Comments
 * Something of an all-star line-up for the sessions, with two of Peel's long-time favourites and all-time session record setters.
 * Apologies for possibly sounding, “what old hippies used to call laid back.” That evening had just done his first live Top Of The Pops. “You wouldn’t realize this because I look so cool and suave and in control of everything, but I get into such a state before I do them.” After the initial sense of relief once it’s over, he wants to “have a bit of a lie down.”
 * Plays wrong side of single by Liverpool Cook Da Books, then touring with the Undertones, but then plays the intended song as well.
