; 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 Bill Oddie single was later found in John Peel's Record Box.
*Ken Garner credits one of the sessions to "Daddy Long Legs", rather than Daddy Longlegs, which was the style used on the band's albums (see Record Collection: B).
*Playlist consists of new or recent material, with only one exception - the B-side of a 1965 hit single by the Animals, although it's played here as a track from the US release of the Animal Tracks LP, a "Disinterred Thirty-Three and a Third" - a spot on the show (complete with jingle) which was abandoned after 1970, even if Peel continued to play occasional tracks from non-current LPs.
*Peel mentions that Marc Bolan plays guitar on the new single by David Bowie, who is going to appear on tomorrow's Sunday concert show. He then plays Daddy Longlegs' session version of their single "Getting High Again", which got them into trouble due to its drug references.
