;Comments
*Thanks to Tim Joseph for the tracklistings
*Show begins with Velvet Opera's version of Blind Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues", which Peel had enthused over when they recorded it on a Top Gear session. He tried to persuade the record company to release it on a single - which they did, but only as a B-side. 
*The Panama Limited Jug Band session includes "Canned Heat", a song recorded in 1928 by Mississippi bluesman Tommy Johnson long before it became the name of one of Peel's favourite white blues bands. They also do Cannon's Jug Stompers' "Going To Germany", seemingly a favourite with revivalist jug bands as the Famous Jug Band also recorded it on a Peel session and the Jim Kweskin Jug Band recorded it in 1963. 
*According to Tim Joseph's tracklistings, the poetry on this show was read by Blue. Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions book lists John F. Shepherd as a guest but doesn't say whether he was a poet or someone Peel interviewed in the studio. Blue may have been a nickname for John F. Shepherd, but the name is obscure; none of the John F. Shepherds listed by Google seem to have literary connections.
