• File 2 has a six minute clip of a Peel show found on the audio of Alan Freeman Complete Saturday Rock Show 17th December 1977 Radio 1 name on Mixcloud.
• The Stretch track Can't Judge A Book was never released as a single or on an album in the 70's and was only a session track played on Peel's show. The Stretch track according to Peel is a cover of Bo Diddley's You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover.
• The date of the show is more likely to be 3rd February 1976 due to the repeated session track of Stretch and Peel mentioning Mrs Hes on the BBC quiz Ask The Family. According to the Genome website, the Hes family took part in the show which was broadcast on 2nd February 1976 [1].
