I have a batch of sessions which I got from the Internet somewhere 
some years ago

I have 2 tracks from the Symonds session - She's A Rainbow and Somebody To love
+ another track which sounds like an original

I have 2 tracks from the 23-6-68 Top Gear session - Love Me Two Times and
Dear Mr Fantasy         Not the other 2 from the session

I have the 4 tracks from the 9-3-69 session

Plus there is another group of 3 originals which I put down as Top 
Gear from 1969


All tracks are poor quality probably from AM broadcasts  (all we had 
in those days!)


I suspect these duplicate what you have (probably from the same source) which
is why I haven't put them up
