According to Peel's intro to the show, "Eddie Lee Beppeaux" (see Glossary) guests on a couple of the sessions.
The Johnny Shines session includes a version of Robert Johnson's "Kind Hearted Woman", done in the style of Johnson's original - "that's what it should sound like", says Peel
Two tracks played from Bob Dylan's double LP of (mostly) other people's songs, Self Portrait, which had a mixed reception from the critics. Peel calls it an "interesting" LP with "all kinds of curious things".
Main news story is new Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath being splashed with red paint by "a good-looking, dark-haired woman" protesteron his first day in 10 Downing Street. Details here
Peel mentions that listeners may find it difficult to get hold of the new John Peel's Archive Things LP, before ending the show with a track from it.
Kinks: Lola (7") Pye 7N 17961 (Single played second week in a row – Walters likes it, so does JP, and Robert Wyatt claims Ray Davies influenced his singing style - leading into the next track)
Soft Machine: Moon In June (2xLP - Third) CBS 66246 John states that this is a single as well as on the LP but there is no sign of a single version on Discogs. (He may have been joking, considering the track's length, which would make it impossible to edit down to three minutes)
