Comments
  • Incomplete show.
  • Features old favourites David Gilmour (of Pink Floyd) and former Medicine Head member John Fiddler (in sessionists British Lions), alongside new talent.
  • After playing Rolling Stones track, Peel wonders whether the band should have “knocked it on the head after Satisfaction – I sometimes think so.”
  • Forced to play different Radio Birdman track when first choice is scratched. Also plays wrong side of Residents single first time round.
  • John mentions that the Slits on hearing the session wanted two of the numbers dropped, however John Walters managed to persuade them to keep them. He expresses amazement that they haven’t been recorded commercially and makes plea for them to be signed.
