- All that is known to survive of this show is a session track by guest Amory Kane, found on a tape labelled Early 1969 from the Harper Reels collection. It is preceded by an album track by Tim Hardin which may also be from the show, as the LP from which it was taken was released around this time.
- This was London-based American singer Amory Kane''s only Peel session and may have been his only BBC appearance - there are no further references to him on BBC Genome. "Reflections Of Your Face" was his current single, taken from his debut LP Memories Of Time Unwound[1], which despite being chosen as Melody Maker's pop LP of the month in January 1969[2], was not a commercial success. Kane made a few more records, including a single cover version of a Peel favourite, Paul Revere And The Raiders' "Him Or Me {What's It Gonna Be)" in 1970, but it seems that Peel ignored them.
- According to Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions, studio guests were Newcastle poet Barry MacSweeney (see Night Ride Poets) for more on him), HH Rogers, and Lord Hunt.
- Lord Hunt was on the programme in response to John Wells' accusations on the previous week's Night Ride of British government indifference to the suffering caused by the civil war in Nigeria. Prime Minister Harold Wilson was annoyed by this, and Peel was obliged to read out an apology on behalf of the BBC. The DJ was unhappy at having to do this and expressed his anger in his International Times column[3].
