*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.
*Playlist includes Elvis Presley's version of "That's All Right Mama", followed by a session version by the song's originator, Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. There is a track from a Small Faces LP as well as a session by the Faces, and a track by the Incredible String Band in addition to a session by Dr. Strangely Strange, who were influenced and "helped" (according to the publicity for their first LP) by the ISB..
*Two tracks from an LP by Quatermass, which wasn't a success, but the band may have interested Peel because it included John Gustafson, formerly of the DJ's Merseybeat favourites the Big Three.
*A track by Alice Cooper, when he was still a fairly obscure artist recording for Frank Zappa's Straight label.
*Audio of most of the show became available in June 2020. Sound is very good (for AM)
