Hi all

I was just sorting out a few old items of junk in my archive, and I found a copy of the old psych fanzine "117" (issue #7)
Inside there's an article by a chap named 'Vic Garibaldi' (!) titled "John Peel's Lowest Gear". Mr Garibaldi apparently commited playlists to his notebook, until the 10th Jan 1970 anyway. This was the last show he bothered with until the coming of The Ramones, because in his humble opinion Peel "Really pushed in all the stops for this one" (He gives 'one measly star' as his verdict)
Anyway, Mr Garibaldi intimates that this was part of a series of programme listings, so does anyone here have more copies of "117"?

Here's the Playlist... (I don't know how to add it to wiki, so if someone else cares to then by all means etc)
