- Tracklisting below is from Volume 2(ii) of the Decktician Logs. Many thanks to Decktician, Ken Garner for copying and additional information, and Rocker for acting as central HQ.
- The tracklisting logged by Decktician shows some changes made to the scheduled session lineup given in Ken's Peel Sessions book.
- Show features the first known play of the Kop Choir LP that featured the version of You'll Never Walk Alone most favoured by Peel down the years.
- Peel follows a cover version of Eddie Cochran's "Twenty Flight Rock" by Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen with Cochran's 1957 original, and then with a 1959 rock'n'roll track by Cliff Richard.
- Cover versions include Stackwaddy's rendition of the Pretty Things' "Rosalyn" and Manfred Mann's Earth Band's recording of Randy Newman 's "Living Without You", later issued as a single from their LP. Notable singles include Jo Jo Gunne's "Run, Run, Run", a chart hit for the band formed by ex-members of Spirit, and Lee Dorsey's version of Allen Toussaint's "Freedom For The Stallion", a song later covered by the Hues Corporation and Elvis Costello
- There is a rare track by Shanti, a West Coast-based band who pioneered the fusion of Indian music and rock but attracted little attention at the time. Their bass player Steve Leach became well-known in the 2000s under the name Seasick Steve, although Peel is not known to have ever played his music.
