Comments

• No Decktician Log available for this show. Many thanks to Ken Garner for providing the PasB list.
• Plays both sides of the new Family single.
• There are a number of bands called Natural Gas, including one who recorded an album produced by Felix Pappalardi in 1976, and another who came from New Zealand. But the band featured here, with a repeat of their second Peel session, doesn't seem to be either of them. Please add any information if known.
• Playlist also includes LP tracks by three obscure US rock bands with one-word names; Nitzinger, Swallow and Sawbuck. Geronimo Black were never a household name either, but at least some of the band members were well-known; Bunk Gardner and Jimmy Carl Black were both former members of the Mothers of Invention, while Tjay Cantrelli, who played on Love's Da Capo LP, also appears on this album.
