John Peel's Sunday Show for 1970

[leicesterjim]

Many thanks to all posting Sunday Shows and In Concerts. A few years ago, I spent some time in Westminster City Library going through their bound collection of Radio Times (which date back to the 20s-just ask the man behind the desk for anything pre-1980). Here's part one of what I found, with notes added by myself. Enjoy.
