60's Top Gear programmes and playlists ...A DISCOVERY!

[ken]

I have no idea why i filed elmer gantry's velvet opera under v, given that the equippe does not feature someone born with the name of Mr Gantry... apologies...

...but the kaleidoscope session IS in the book, recorded 13/12/67, broadcast 7/1/68 (and , i think, never repeated), although one of those two tracks named, "the murder of..." does not appear, most probably because one of the title given at the time of the recording was later amended to this. Maybe someone can advise?

Sharon Tandy and the Fleur De Lys (that's how they were billed), did appear on the show of 29/10/67 (recorded 11/10/67), and are in the book therefore filed under T for Tandy.
