Comments

• Tracklisting below is from Volume 3 of the Decktician Logs. Many thanks to Decktician, Ken Garner for copying and additional information, and Rocker for acting as central HQ.
• The two Earl Bostic tracks are played from Peel’s own 10” LP from 1954.
• A double helping of German music, from Faust and Tangerine Dream. Supersister, a former Dandelion band, were from Holland.
• The session recording of Ricky Nelson's Hello Mary Lou by Steeleye Span was filmed and turned up in the Radio Wonderful documentary released the same year (as well as in subsequent TV programmes on Peel).
• Most obscure item in the listing is a country-rock B-side by Barbara Keith, sung in a style which is similar to Peel's later favourite Laura Cantrell.
