; Comments
*Available recordings consist mainly of the Yardbirds session, where three out of the four songs were played as broadcast on Top Gear. "Dazed And Confused" later became famous in Led Zeppelin's version. The acoustic instrumental "White Summer" is a feature for the guitar of Jimmy Page, who based it on one of Davy Graham's most famous tracks, his pioneering, Eastern-influenced arrangement of "She Moves Through The Fair", first recorded in 1962. 
*A New Generation (more on them here) are one of the more obscure of the many bands to have recorded a Top Gear session in 1968. They made little impression at the time, but a few years later two members of the band, Iain and Gavin Sutherland, achieved chart success and Peel airplay as the Sutherland Brothers, and later as the Sutherland Brothers And Quiver.

;Other
*1, 3-5) Thanks to ColinH. File 3 may well be from this show as the sound quality is similar to the other two files. File 1b has been centred. File 5 is from the same source but longer as the earlier version was cut early due to a long dropout. This has now been compensated for, as well as centred.
