*Poet Tom Raworth (misspelt Tom Rayworth in The Peel Sessions) in studio (see Night Ride Poets)
*The Ravi Shankar track is from the soundtrack of Chappaqua, a film directed by Conrad Rooks. Rooks had originally commissioned Ornette Coleman to compose the soundtrack, but decided not to use Coleman's work, which nonetheless was issued as a double LP on CBS, Chappaqua Suite. Coleman and Shankar both appeared in the film, as did the Fugs, William S. Burroughs, and Moondog, among others.
*Full tracklist thanks to Tim Joseph
== Sessions ==
*Bridget St John #1, recorded 21st August 1968. On Dandelion Albums & BBC Recordings Collection 4xCD Box, 2015 (Cherry Red CRCDMBOX17) (off-air recording)
*The one missing track is available on the album. Some tracks from the tape are identified as "acetate versions" ~ (available on Fly High Cherry Red / Dandelion CDBRED 696) but these sound identical (other than being of higher quality) and must be the Reel To Reel versions recorded by Al Stewart, which ended up being broadcast as part of the session.
(Please add details of any commercial release of these sessions)
