More Old Playlists 1968-69

[grang354]

Thanks too to Eddie for the tip - I got the show in the end & it sounds much better than it did on a cheap tranny in 1982.

Alirio Diaz's "Asturias" was also the source of the Doors' "Spanish Caravan", with Jim Morrison singing "Andalusia with fields full of brain"...or that's how it sounded at the time. It's good to have some snippets of William Hardcastle (are there any more?)but I wondered if JP really first heard "Guinevere" sitting on the floor of a flat in Chelsea with Marc Bolan? As far as I recall he was playing it quite early in summer '67 & he didn't meet Bolan until later in the year - on one Perfumed Garden he plays a Bolan track & says "wow, what an amazing voice, I must meet him"...

Amazingly, that turns out to have been a Peel Session from 1973 (though their repertoire doesn't seem to have moved on much). As Ken notes in TPS (p.288), "A one-off. 'Must have been one of Peel's funny periods' said John Walters in 92". Must say, ol' Peelie does seem to have cut music a considerable amount of slack if it had "Liverpool" stamped on it. Amsterdam, anyone?
