Pink Floyd
"John Peels First Ever Top Gear Show"
Pink Floyd's Top Gear Radio Session
11th October 1967 (Rebroadcast Oct 2005)

BBC Radio 6 Music are broadcasting a series of John Peel specials, as part of their "Keepin' It Peel" focus. As part of this, on Monday (24th October) they broadcast John Peel's very first "Top Gear" show, from 11th October 1967, which features three Pink Floyd tracks in stunning quality. The three tracks, performed by the Syd Barrett helmed line up, are Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun, Reaction In G, and Flaming. These tracks have been circulated heavily, unofficially, for many years, but have tended to be in incredibly ropey sound quality. The broadcast on Monday featured the tracks in superb quality. Other artists on the show included The Hollies, Keith West, (the original) Nirvana, and the Velvet Underground.
