Comments

• Tracklisting below is from Volume 1 of the Decktician Logs. Many thanks to Decktician, Ken Garner for copying and additional information, and Rocker for acting as central HQ.
• The Medicine Head single was later found in John Peel's Record Box, as was the single by the Big Three. Peel had asked his International Times readers in late 1967 if they could help him locate a copy of the record, by that time quite rare, and it seems that eventually he found one.
• Playlist includes fashionable new releases by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Frank Zappa, the Band, Delaney and Bonnie (featuring Eric Clapton among their "Friends") and the Rolling Stones, and less fashionable Peel favourites (the Humblebums, Billy Fury).
• I have recording of part of this show.Tracks marked with ~ are the only ones i have in said recording.
