*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.
*Playlist includes many well-known names. Probably the most obscure is Dewey Martin and Medicine Ball. Martin made his name as the drummer with Peel favourites Buffalo Springfield, but this band wasn't so successful.
*Peel plays both sides of the new Fairport Convention single. The B-side is an instrumental medley arranged by Dave Swarbrick, with a very long title, in full; "Sir B. McKenzie's Daughter's Lament for the 77th Mounted Lancers Retreat from the Straits of Loch Knombe, in the Year of Our Lord 1727, on the Occasion of the Announcement of Her Marriage to the Laird of Kinleakie".
*A session of pure contemporary jazz by the quartet of English pianist Keith Tippett, who married Julie Driscoll around this time or a bit later, and also appeared on Top Of The Pops with King Crimson, playing piano on their single "Cat Food". The session is played in full with no interruptions, as if to stress how different it was from the rest of the playlist - but at this point producer John Walters and Peel were willing to book jazz artists for sessions.
