*Peel explains that he is a day late in returning to the Radio London ship from shore leave because he overslept, "after a night of revelry at festive Peel Acres". He is happy to be back ("I feel as though I was back home again...") and sounds pleased by the enthusiastic listener response to the Perfumed Garden.
*Lead singer on the Jeff Beck track is Rod Stewart - his first known appearance in a Peel playlist.
*Peel reads out the names of listeners who sent in entries to his Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds competition - among them Geoffrey Prowse and Roy Carr, Carr was then (as JP mentions) a member of little-known group The Executives, but later became a renowned author and music journalist who edited NME, Melody Maker. and Vox. During his career he also helped put together many of the compilations Peel featured on his shows from the 1980s onwards. including some drawn from Peel sessions.
