; Comments
*An incomplete Peel show covering the first 1 hour and 40 minutes.
*Peel responds to a listener's letter asking him to play a record which he used to play on the pirate ships and proceeds to play a track from Phillip Goodhand-Tait And The Stormsville Shakers, which he says is his favourite band name. Oddly, it was issued in 1966, when JP was still living in the USA, and was Ed Stewart's Climber on Radio London in the week beginning 28 August 1966. It was still on the station's playlist in the following week but never made the Big L Fab Forty chart. There is no record of Peel having played it, although a previous single by the band, "I'm Gonna Put Some Hurt On You", made his KMEN British Pop Top Ten for two weeks in June 1966. Goodhand-Tait later did Peel sessions under his own name and as a member of Circus
*Peel mentions Sue Steward showing him a record from Guinea featuring the artist Les Amazones De Guinée, who are African police women and he then says that she took it away after saying that it was a good record.
*Peel mistakenly calls the African Star track as You So Rude instead of You Too Rude.
*Peel mentions he wanted to be an archaeologist when he was young, but was horrified that he needed Science to become one.
*Peel mentions reading Philip Ziegler's Black Death book, which he found depressing.
*Peel mentions that the Pig rang up to say that he was in a children's comic called the Bunty.
