;YYYY-MM
*1968
*(Background of tape, including who made it, theme if any, notable songs, interesting Peel comments, etc)
*
*Mainly a compilation of previously shared tracks from Colin Harper's collection
*Many of these items are from Night Ride shows and have already been logged on the Wiki, but a few may not be from Night Rides at all.
*Unusual for Peel to play a track by Mississippi John Hurt, who was one of the most popular of the veteran blues singers rediscovered in the 1960s (he died in 1966) but never seemed to be a Peel favourite. He did however influence blues revivalists like Stefan Grossman and his two LPs for Vanguard Records were produced by Patrick Sky so this track may be from a Night Ride on which Sky was a session guest or studio interviewee.
*The Jansch/Thompson version of Charles Mingus's Haitian Fight Song (mainly a bass solo feature for Danny Thompson) does seem to be unique to this tape
