; Comments
*Tracklisting below is from Volume 1 of the Decktician Logs. Many thanks to Decktician, Ken Garner for copying and additional information, and Rocker for acting as central HQ.
*The opening track by Mikis Theodorakis was played after the Greek songwriter and composer had gone into exile in Paris earlier in the week. Peel had previously played the song on the Night Ride of 07 May 1969, where he names the singer as Maria Farandouri; this was after an enthusiastic listener response to other Theodorakis tracks played on earlier Night Rides.
*The two East Of Eden tracks previously shared for this date were actually recorded from the repeat broadcast 11 July 1970.
*American band the Flock were the latest in a series of US jazz-rock acts (Blood, Sweat And Tears, Chicago) promoted by CBS Records Their single is a cover of the Kinks' "Tired Of Waiting For You".
