; Comments 
*Excellent reel to reel recording.
*Stuff 'N' Ramjett single is apparently on its fourth night as Peel's Big 45.
*Three tracks played from new double LP repackaging of Rod Stewart's first two solo albums, leading off with a cover of "Street Fighting Man", originally by the Rolling Stones, and with a piano quote from that band's "We Love You". It's followed by Rod's version of the Small Faces' "My Way Of Giving", written by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane. JP doesn't fail to note Stewart's current tax exile status.
*Show begins with a vintage Louis Jordan track - also just reissued as a single.
*Peel says he doesn't know who "Paracelsus" - the title of the first National Health session track - is, although the name would be familiar to listeners with an interest in alchemy, mysticism and the occult, fashionable in hippy circles in the 1970s. Paracelsus was born in Switzerland, christened Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim and lived from 1493 to 1541. The "Agrippa" from whom the band's final session track takes its name is most likely Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535), "one of the most influential occultists of the early modern period".
