- Comments
- (Introduction to show, mood of Peel, interesting comments, etc. If possible, please add mentions of gigs attended, football matches, TV appearances, stories of past/current activities, etc, for use elsewhere on John Peel Wiki.)
- Off-air recording, presumed to be from the initial play but possible it came from the repeat on 18 February 1968. Note - though Tommy Vance stopped co-hosting after the January shows so at least the one with his outro is from this show
- A mix of session artists typical of the early, three-hour Top Gears. Once Peel became sole presenter of the show (he co-presented the January 1968 TGs with Tommy Vance), there were very few sessions from chart-oriented acts like the Foundations and Plastic Penny whereas the likes of Cream, TYA and the Bonzos became playlist regulars..
