"I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I'd had a list from a Mike Price of all of the records, in fact he just cut it out of a magazine, of all of the records that I'd played on the very final night of the Perfumed Garden programme that I used to do on the pirate ship Radio London back in 1967, and I said that over a period of time, I'd work me way through the tracks and play them to you, because obviously most of them will be records that you've never heard, but which were quite important in my life at one stage. The first couple of tracks that I played were a couple of tracks from Sergeant Pepper, and you obviously know that off by heart, so there's not a lot of point in my playing that.Well, perhaps you wouldn't know it,

The first couple of tracks that I played were a couple of tracks from Sergeant Pepper, and you obviously know that off by heart, so there's not a lot of point in my playing that.Well, perhaps you wouldn't know it, but at the same time I thought it would be better to play some of the less well-known tracks." (22 January 2002 show.) "One or two of them actually I don't seem to have any longer, but when we get to them, I'll kind of leave them out. That's a bit of a contradiction in terms, but you know what I mean." (12 February 2002 show.) As Peel suggests, the plan did not run smoothly: the Tim Buckley track had to be played from a CD reissue, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex song, being from an acetate gifted to him by Marc Bolan, could not be found at all. After the St. Valentine's Day selection, he abandoned the idea completely: for a list of the remaining tracks, see 14 August 1967. On the 05 June 2002 show, he mentioned receiving a postcard from a listener asking what had happened to the strand, and replied: "I'd been doing it for three or four weeks and nobody had said anything about it at all, so in rather a sulky manner I just stopped doing it. And then nobody said anything about it then either, so I thought I was wasting my time. Since then I've had a couple of letters about it, but it just seemed to have been a bad idea really." Therefore, what follows is a list of the tracks in this strand of his 2002 shows where Peel carried this out, with his comments on the music, and a note of the three tracks that he did not play from the original show.
