RE: (TV) Peel Sessions?/Television

[postitnote <postitnote@sbcglobal.net>]

I'm checkin' out your list here and the earliest on there were The Seeds and The Shadows of Knight which I guess were included as early examples of punk/garage rock.  I'd never heard of 'Light Bulbs Blues' before, but I guess they did the classic rock song 'Gloria'.  I forgot they did it orig cuz I much prefer Them's version of it.  Wonder why he didn't include 'Gloria' instead...

What night did John Peel's show come on orig in England? And were they 1 hour shows?
