- Peel explains that he is a day late in returning to the Radio London ship from shore leave because he overslept, "after a night of revelry at festive Peel Acres". He is happy to be back ("I feel as though I was back home again...") and sounds pleased by the enthusiastic listener response to the Perfumed Garden.
- Lead singer on the Jeff Beck track is Rod Stewart - his first known appearance in a Peel playlist.
- Peel reads out the names of listeners who sent in entries to his Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds competition - among them Geoffrey Prowse and Roy Carr, Carr was then (as JP mentions) a member of little-known group The Executives, but later became a renowned author and music journalist who edited NME, Melody Maker[1]. and Vox. During his career he also helped put together many of the compilations Peel featured on his shows from the 1980s onwards. including some drawn from Peel sessions[2].
