Comments

• No Decktician Log available for this show. Many thanks to Ken Garner for providing the PasB list.
• The band formerly known as McGuinness Flint changed its name to Coulson, Dean, McGuinness, Flint to reflect changes of personnel. Their session includes three Bob Dylan songs ("Let Me Die In My Footsteps", "Lo And Behold", "Get Your Rocks Off"), all included on their current album[1] of lesser-known Dylan material.
• Plays for Soft Machine's debut single from 1967, "Love Makes Sweet Music", sung by Robert Wyatt, and 10cc's current single, "Donna". Also a cover version of David Bowie's "Hang Onto Yourself" from the oddly-named Arnold Corns.
• B.J. Thomas, best known for his hit version of Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head", is an unexpected name to find in a Peel playlist, but the track played features Duane Eddy on guitar. Peel follows it with a track by Eddy.
