Recorded live for BBC Radio 1's Top Gear programme on January 25, 1973.

These early Richard and Linda shows are always great fun, although invariably suffer from poor sound quality. This is the case here, with the music very muffled and the occasional recording artefact (squeaks and the like).

The origin of the filler track is basically guesswork - it's a radio rendition of Dragging The River, and the Top Gear show was the only such that I'm aware of.
