- Comments
- Brenton Wood was one of the last soul artists to do a Top Gear session in its early period, when shows tended to include one or more soul artists in session. Wood's hit single "Gimme Little SIgn" featured a distinctive organ sound which resembled the early records of Country Joe & The Fish, although it's not known whether this influenced the decision to book him.
- Another track from Penny Nichols, and a rare Peel playlist appearance for the 5th Dimension, who tended to be thought of as a bit too showbiz and "uncool" by some hippies, even if their early albums impressed the likes of Nick Drake and got some airplay on non-Peel shows on Radio 1.
