- 13 minutes of an edited show hosted by John Peel and available on file.
- Presumably a short sponsored show (by the publication Car Advertiser) rather than a part of a standard three-hour Radio London stint. Peel does say "sometime between now and nine o'clock", so he would have had time to take a break before presenting the Perfumed Garden at midnight.
- From a longer recording which also includes an hour of Mark Roman doing the Radio London breakfast show, a few minutes of the well-spoken senior DJ Paul Kaye at the start of the 9 a.m - midday show, and an hour of American DJ Chuck Blair ("don't forget, honey bunnies, and you too, rough rabbits") between 6 and 7 p.m. This is followed by the beginning of Garner Ted Armstrong's religious half-hour, "The World Tomorrow", after which the taper begins to twiddle the dial, looking for other things to listen to.
- In the final days of Radio London some of the DJs had to do double shifts; Mark Roman mentions that he'll be back at 3 p.m. to do the afternoon show, so Peel might have had to do this show because no-one else was available.
Tracklisting[]
- (JP: '...ordinal grateful and so are they I have no doubt, here is Moby Grape and this is Omaha')
- Moby Grape: Omaha (7") CBS (interruputed near the start by a bit of dial-twiddling)
- (JP: 'Those are Moby Grape and that's a great record... One of the best of the San Francisco groups and that is called Omaha, which is a town in Nebraska, there is something you didn't know and the chances are pretty good that you didn't actually care about it either really I suppose')
- (Peel advertising the Car Advertiser "the quickest way to sell your car...")
- (JP: 'Here's a group called Our Plastic Dream and this is rather an interesting record, it's called A Little Bit Of Shangrila')
- Our Plastic Dream: A Little Bit Of Shangrila (7") Go
- (JP: 'Actually I like the other side a lot better. The other side is called Encapsulated Marigold, which is a good title and that's a group called Our Plastic Dream on the Go label and A Little Bit Of Shangrila. I have no idea what's that like, but I'm willing to try anything')

- (edit - Peel mentions "Jeff" - Beck - presumably - says he's a nice person and tells listeners to buy his record)

- (Radio London jingle)
- Rolling Stones: Dandelion (7" - We Love You) Decca
- (JP: 'Can't help it being at number 1 and those are the Rolling Stones and that's the story of Dandelion, which of course you heard first on Radio London and sometime between now and 9 o' clock, we hear the other side, which is We Love You, which is very basic and simple and right')
