*The session tracks with JP links are available.
*According to Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions book, Dave Brock of Dave Brock And Friends telephoned and asked for a BBC audition on 22nd October 1968, which he passed. Dave Brock later founded the space rock group, Hawkwind.
*Archive tracks from Finland and Ireland (by uilleann piper Willie Clancy)
*A jazz track from an album by John Handy's Concert Ensemble which JP had praised in his International Times column. Handy, who was born in San Francisco and based himself in the Bay Area, had some success throughout his career yet never became a big jazz star (despite a fusion hit with "Hard Work" in 1976). He recorded an LP with Indian sarod player Ali Akbar Khan and won a Grammy for his 1966 LP John Handy Recorded Live At The Monterey Jazz Festival . His 1966 track "Dancy Dancy" became a listeners' favourite on BBC Radio 3's Jazz Record Requests.
*Final track on the list is from an obscure EP on Saydisc, one of the small labels whose releases tended to appear on Night Ride. Peel gets a mention in the sleevenotes.
*Full tracklisting with thanks to Tim Joseph. link
