*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.
*Peel enthuses over the Faces, describing them as his favourite group of the moment and saying the Sunday Concert show they had just recorded was "amazing".
*Before the Pink Fairies' "The Snake", Peel describes having breakfast at the Nag's Head, Wollaston, and reading a newspaper article saying that Mike Raven is appearing in a horror film. It suggests that he too should take up acting; JP mentions that he once played Snow White at school.
*There is a track by Shelagh McDonald, a singer who "disappeared" mysteriously in 1971 and became a cult figure among collectors of the "psychedelic folk" music of this era. She was eventually rediscovered in 2005 and resumed her musical career. 
*The Pink Fairies session includes cover versions of Little Richard's "Lucille" and Jefferson Airplane's "3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds". 
*Matthews Southern Comfort cover Neil Young's "I Believe In You" from Young's After The Gold Rush LP. They also do Alan C. Anderson's "And When She Smiles", which (as JP points out in his intro) was included on the only LP (never issued in the UK) made by American country-rock band the Wlidweeds. Peel plays another track from it here - on Ian Matthews' recommendation, he says.
