;Comments
*Very good quality from a reel to reel.
*Playlist includes a series of tracks from the box set Electric Muse: The Story Of Folk Into Rock, which was accompanied by a book on the history of British folk and folk-rock, and featured many artists who had done sessions for Peel. An updated version of the book, The Electric Muse Revisited, was published in 2021, accompanied by a CD box set with a revised playlist featuring many folk artists from later eras, although only a few - June Tabor, Billy Bragg, Sharon Shannon - made appearances on JP's programmes.
*Reggae session (and Radio 1 debut) by the Cimarons includes their current single, "Tradition", written and originally recorded by Burning Spear. Peel also plays their version of Bob Marley's "Talking Blues" as #24 in his favourite 30 singles of the year.
