- 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.
- Two unseasonal Christmas songs, or at least songs mentioning Christmas, played in succession. The John Cale track, from his current LP, has the same title as a famous poem by Dylan Thomas, but the lyrics are Cale's own
- Two tracks from Annette Funicello, seemingly from the 1964 Muscle Beach Party soundtrack. A copy of the Yardbirds single was later found in John Peel's Record Box.
- The Arlo Guthrie track is a cover version of a 1932 song written by Bill Halley (not Haley) and made famous by Jimmie Rodgers. Later covers of the song included versions by Merle Haggard and Bob Dylan.
- More pre-World War Two country music from the Three Stripped Gears, the track taken from a reissue compilation album on Old-Timey Records, a subsidiary of Arhoolie Records, whose releases Peel followed closely
- Obscure boogie piano from Groove Joe Poovey (1959), a Japanese group (the Flower Travellin' Band), Krautrock from Kraftwerk, gospel from the Rance Allen Group and a reggae single by the Upsetters are included in a diverse playlist.
