; Comments
* Full tracklisting from the PasB of the BBC Written Archives Centre.
* This one-hour show broadcast between 8.15 and 9.15pm was one of Peel's "son of Night Ride" programmes.
* Peel has session music from Michael Chapman and poetry from Don Gardner on the show.
* Peel talks to studio guests Phil Ochs (1940-1976; American anti-Vietnam war & civil rights singer who is best remembered for his early LPs on Elektra Records, influenced Billy Bragg and was a firm favourite of Andy Kershaw) and Richard Branson, who at that time was running a magazine named Student before starting Virgin Records, initially a mail-order company, in the following year.
* The John McLaughlin track, Pete The Poet, is named after Pete Brown, poet and lyricist for Cream, who had been a guest poet on one of the early Night Rides. It is from McLaughlin's debut album, which gained rave reviews from the critics but was poorly promoted and didn't sell. The guitarist's career didn't take off until he moved to the USA, joined Miles Davis's group and then formed the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
*Crosby, Stills and Nash's debut LP, by contrast, was a best-seller and Peel plays the single from it here.
* Peel plays a belly dancing tune from an Egyptian named Muhammad Al-Kahlawi, found in the BBC Archives.
* Peel plays only 2 minutes of the Water Music by experimental electronic musician Tod Dockstader, as the full track lasts 18 minutes.
