; Comments
*Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions only lists the Young Tradition in session, with no mention of a poet or studio guests - unusual for a Night Ride, or "son of Night Ride". Perhaps the show was pre-recorded, although JP doesn't seem to have been on holiday that week.
*According to the listings in The Peel Sessions, Al Stewart sessions were broadcast on two successive Night Rides - the show of 20 August 1969 and this one. Yet the shows section of Ken's book lists only the Young Tradition as session guests on this date. The BBC Genome site allocates these Al Stewart sessions to the later Night Ride presented by Jon Curle at 12.05 a.m. As usual, Genome's listings, taken from that week's Radio Times, give no details of guests on Peel's "nameless show", but both it and Curle's Night Ride were produced by Pete Ritzema.
*Only the tracklisting is available, but it would be interesting to know why Peel opened the show with Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" and played a couple of "oldies"; Bob Dylan's rare single "Can You Please Crawl Out Your WIndow" and the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love".
