;Comments
*tape is distorted at first, as though it has been partially demagnetised.
*Pete Brown in studio; he mentions he's been working with a band, but on this show makes a solo appearance as guest poet.
*Show includes an interview with Percy Parslow who ran a hamster farm and was later the subject of a song by Andy Roberts, who together with JP visited the farm, "yesterday".
*Peel again regrets that he can't play some of the tracks (the Nice and the Indian Gottuvadhyam piece) in full due to lack of time. He also apologises for being about four months behind in replying to listeners’ letters.
*Full show (both Peel's section and what Radio Times calls "the usual Night Ride" with Robin Boyle between 1 and 2 a.m.) produced by Denis O'Keeffe.

*JP: I got hold of a record last week which has Robert Johnson’s version of Dust My Broom..." – he doesn't give the title, but probably the LP was the anthology Blues Roots, Mississippi (RBF 14) as the track was unavailable elswehere. Peel reviewed this album in issue 30 of International Times, saying that "Robert Johnson's "Dust My Broom" is worth the price of the record anyway" although he also comments that "the three Tommy Johnson tracks are superb, especially "Big Road Blues". Tommy Johnson recorded in the late 1920s and his records are prized by blues collectors - but he wasn't a relative of Robert Johnson.
