*Studio guest Al Kooper, visitng London, was a fashionable figure at the time because of his session work with Bob Dylan, his bands Blues Project and Blood,Sweat And Tears, and his successful 1968 LP Super Session, with Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills. Peel interviewed him and wasn't impressed, as he told Melody Maker's Blind Date some months later; "Al Kooper seems to be enormously over-rated and he over-rates himself judging by the brief conversation I had with him..." He responds to the Al Kooper single MM plays him by saying "Is that an entry for next year's Eurovision Song Contest?"
*Guest poet is John Horder (see Night Ride Poets)
*Tim Hollier was British, despite the description of him as a "US singer/guitarist" on the file below. His first LP Message To A Harlequin attracted some attention but wasn't a commercial success. He made several further LPs before taking up a career in music publishing  Melody Maker's folk club listings in the issue of 3 May 1969 (p.21) shows him playing a Sunday evening gig at the Three Tuns, High Street, Beckenham. David Bowie is also on the bill.
