*Tracklisting below is from Volume 2(ii) of the Decktician Logs. Many thanks to Decktician, Ken Garner for copying and additional information, and Rocker for acting as central HQ.
*Playlist contains a fair amount of rootsy American rock, reflecting a trend of the early 1970s; the Youngbloods, two tracks by Rick Nelson & the Stone Canyon Band, Jesse Davis, Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen and the Alabama State Troupers - as well as some authentic American roots music by the North Carolina Boys.
*Two cover versions of Bob Dylan songs; a soul interpretation of "George Jackson" by J.P. Robinson, and Rick Nelson's "Love Minus Zero / No Limit". Other covers include Lieber and Stoller's "I’m A Hog For You, Baby", done by the Youngbloods, and Wizz Jones' version of Robin Williamson's "First Girl I Loved", a song which appeared on the Incredible String Band's LP The 5000 Spirits or The Layers of the Onion, and provoked a nostalgic reverie from Peel when he played it on the Perfumed Garden on 20 July 1967.
*The most avant-garde tracks on the programme are from current releases by David Bedford and Miles Davis. It also includes two tracks - one new, one old - from Captain Beefheart, and one by Japanese underground band Food Brain.
