Featured on the following shows: * 08 December 1975 (first broadcast of sole Peel session) * 02 February 1976 (repeat of above) * 28 December 1976 / 03 January 1977 (split repeat) At least three of the songs (Chimney Pots, Open Up Your Eyes and Ghosts Of Yesterday) were also featured over a period of the same few weeks in late 1975/early 1976 (some more than once - Chimney Pots was broadcast for the second and final time on 21 February 1976) on the Saturday Rock Show, produced by Tony Wilson and hosted by Alan "Fluff" Freeman, from which the quotation at the head of this article is taken.
