*From the sharer: This 11-minute clip came to me dated 13th August 1967 and listed as "Last Perfumed Garden". Obviously it's not the last one as that's available as audio and documented on the wiki with tracklist & transcripts and this one is different, but if the date is correct then it's the day before the last one. 
*Initially the clip was assigned, as suggested, to "the day before the last one" i.e. the 13th. However information from the Radio London website indicates that Peel took a day's shore leave and left Pete Drummond to stand in as "Head Gardener" before returning on the 13th. (the date for the shore leave was shown to be the 10th, but this is assumed to be a typo, as the page is otherwise in chronological order and the 12th fits in better, returning the following day.) Also, Peel apologised on the final Perfumed Garden for not being there "last night". This all points to there being no Peel Perfumed Garden on the 13th, indeed that page states that there is forthcoming audio with Drummond presenting the penultimate PG. 
*While now allocated to the 12th August, it may in fact be from several dates in the run-up to Radio London's closure, but we now know it is neither the final nor the penultimate Perfumed Garden.
*Recording is running a little fast, with speed variations especially noticeable on the Donovan and Big Brother tracks. JP talks about his current interests - dibblers, his Poet Laureate listeners' poll and the "non-contest".
