Hey guys,

I am looking for a very rare recording that I believe was aired on John Peel sessions in the radio. It was a fusion of a calm monotonous but amazing tune and the speech of psychedelic guru Terence McKenna. His speech in this record was from 1992 and can be found on the internet under The Camden Talk (starting from We are in a kind of tightening spiral...). I used to have it also in mp3 and apparently it used to be on a tape because there was a folder called Side B, or maybe Tape B (can't remember). Also it was uploaded on youtube for many years before they deleted it. I am not able to google it anymore, what makes it hard is the favt that I don't think behind this record was some actual band that John Peel used to play, rather an ocassional mix of sound with mckennas talk... Anyone able to help find it? Perhaps the year of a talk can serve as a lead... Thanks!

I've been labouring on a 6CD 'Bert Jansch at the BBC' box set (1966-2009) set, for release next year some time. The 'holy grail' of the missing audio is this one:

Sounds of the 70s 2/8/71 and/or 23/8/71

• I have none of these 5 songs - some very rare in his repertoire

The Sequence 11/5/73 is also missing in full, and re: Night Ride 18/12/68 - I have only two of the six tracks.

Happily, there are many survivals beyond the remit of Ken Garner's books (in which all three above comprise the BJ listing). But if anyone can supply any of the above... wonderful! :-)
