*Peel Mailing List user Eddie comments: "Here's another tape of Colin's that I ripped and encoded back in '07: a compilation of various Peel extracts from 1975. Again, it's mostly lo-fi stuff, and heavily edited, but well worth cocking an ear to, I think."
*This was the period when the BBC had chosen to cut back by scrapping its "Sounds of the Seventies" programmes; in the re-arranged schedules, Peel was the sole survivor, initially with an early evening slot from 5.15 to 7 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. This explains why, before playing the Jay McShann track, he reminds his listeners that "at two minutes past nine this evening Humphrey Lyttleton is on" . Peel had great respect for "Humph" - in Margrave Of The Marshes he is listed among a select group of "great broadcasters" - and his programme "The Best of Jazz" was a staple of Radio Two's Monday evening schedules for many years.

*Many thanks to Colin and Eddie.
*During the (very) long second Steve Miller Band selection, a screeching noise, possibly caused by the tape chafing against the shell, appears and remains to the end.
