We fast-forward nearly a year from the previous post to mid-1970, and find music-loving Johnny Plee introducing sessions from Country Joe McDonald (right), Fotheringay and Cochise. It all gets a bit Pete Frame at this point, because Country Joe had recently stopped working with The Fish (as he told John Walters while recording the session), Fotheringay was Sandy Denny's project after leaving Fairport and Cochise are probably best known for being Mick Grabham's main band before joining Procol Harum. By coincidence, Peel even plays a Procol Harum track right before one of Cochise's session tracks. Hope you're all taking notes; there'll be a test after class.The next upload on Kat's Karavan will be the 11th. July 1970 show (i.e. the very next show after this one), featuring sessions from Son House, Kevin Ayers and East of Eden.

Interesting show. I have the Wild Man Fischer album in my collection and I find it very difficult to listen to - the man was mad. Peel, I seem to remember, had some problems with playing the album. He still did though. I can imagine that Zappa recorded Larry Fischer as a comment on the recording industry - I don't know whether that's why he did make the record but it seems feasible given Zappa's record.
According to Allmusic the American Dream track is called Credamphels. It's track 4 from their 1970 album "The American Dream".
Many thanks! Googling "American Dream" proved fruitless as it's such a common phrase. I'll update the listing.
Any chance of re-upping this one - I seem to have missed it,
many thanks

Just stumbled in to this post 6 years too late. I got The Anerican Dream LP way back in the 70s. They were from Philadelphia as I recall. The musical anoraks amongst you may want to note that it was the first LP to be produced by Todd Rungren.
