OK, can anyone name the two actresses and the show in the picture? Thought so! Doesn’t seem that long ago, does it?

This is the penultimate edition of Top Gear and a copy of this show has been kicking around in a much edited, poor (by which I mean excellently medium wave) quality, version for ages.

A big thank you to Humphrey for a longer, cleaner show, which for some reason doesn’t feature the delights of ABBA, despite the musical excellence they clearly display in their Waterloo Seaside special of the same month.

22nd September, 1975

Track list:

The Faces: ‘Stay With Me’ (Peel Session)

Steeleye Span: ‘Rave On’ (Peel Session)

Roxy Music: ‘If There Is Something’ (Peel Session)

Syd Barrett: ‘Gigolo Aunt’ (Peel Session)

Steeleye Span: ‘Lark In The Morning’ (Peel Session)

Steeleye Span – The Blacksmith

Lindisfarne – Road To Kingdom Come

Syd Barrett – Effervescing Elephant

The Faces – Maggie May

For those of you who weren’t there, this is what life was like in the 1970s…

Please help us at the JP wiki if you have any more info about this show.

  2. Thanks for this, as for everything – downloading as I speak. Yes, I remember the 70s, and those two in particular!

  3. Nerys Hughes on the left and the ginger one is Elizabeth Estensen. Liver birds isn’t it. Great theme tune, with some fab drum breaks..

  4. You’re spot on. About as ’70s as it gets. For me the theme was pretty much the highlight of the show.
