- Full tracklisting from the PasB of the BBC Written Archives Centre.
- Peel plays a track from Rod Stewart covering two Sam Cooke songs, as well as a cover of Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers To Cross" on a single by Nilsson, and Robert Wyatt's version of Neil Diamond's "I'm A Believer".
- Peel plays both sides of Ike Turner & Tina Turner's single.
- The oddly-named Indelible Murtceps were an Australian band previously known as Spectrum.
- A session by Unicorn, an "English country-rock band" who had backed Liverpool singer Billy J. Kramer before starting to make records under their own name. One of their later albums was produced by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour. They toured the USA and lasted until 1977, when they finally split up; apparently they "couldn't compete with the emergence of the punk rock scene"[1]
