*Tracklisting below is from Volume 3 of the Decktician Logs. Many thanks to Decktician, Ken Garner for copying and additional information, and Rocker for acting as central HQ.
*Spare Rib was a six-piece band led by singer Jo-Ann Kelly, who made her name during the British blues boom and recorded sessions for Peel under her own name. Despite the band name, the other five members were all male.
*Oldest track in the playlist is a 1934 recording by old-timey string band Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers.
*Closing track is by rockabilly veteran Merrill E. Moore, who was liked by Peel and also had strong support from a couple of writers on the weekly Record Mirror.
