Just an update on the volume 1 of the Decktician logs, for 1969 and 1970, as mentioned recently by Ken, who copied them all and also checked everything and sorted out lots of missing data.
Anyway, thanks to a big helping hand from Pad, all the basic wiki pages and listings are now up, covering all Top Gear shows from late Sept 1969 to the end of 1970:

Still have some session and release details/links to be added if anyone fancies helping out with missing data (usually available on discogs, wikipedia, allmusic, etc). Just click on the red edit button and type in the info or add a link (click on the chain-like icon), then preview and save. All help much appreciated.
Many interesting points. I was interested in the early plays of German bands like Can and Amon Duul II. Not really unexpected that there were many plays from Trout Mask Replica and other Beefheart, as well as assorted Dandelion artists, Fairport Convention, etc.
A bit more surprising to me was the huge number from the Evening With Wild Man Fischer album. A couple for Mungo Jerry as well (Adam may be interested to know). Also a few things that later turned up in Peel's Record Box of special singles.
Many thanks again to Ken, Decktician, Rocker - and Pad for all the help on the wiki pages. Really looking forward to seeing what's in the other volumes of the Decktician Logs.
Cheers,
Steve
