[Wouter Vuijk]

I just found this information on the Chrome Oxide site (http://www.chromeoxide.com/mayall.htm):
RADIO SESSION: ?????????????? - BBC Studios - Beano's Boys - CD
(CD claims this is Peter Green, but I think some of these may be Mick Taylor)
(These may be the March 26, 1968 sessions)
(ac) Picture On The Wall
(ac) Mayfair Blues (Knockers Step Forward)
(ac) Worried Love
(ac) Supermarket Day

RADIO SESSION: March 26, 1968 Top Gear, BBC Studio 1, 201 Piccadilly, London, England (p8)
(recorded: March 26, 1968, broadcast: March 31, 1968)
Picture On The Wall

Does anybody know more about this "Beano's Boys CD" and possibly Peters contribution?

Ooops, the tread should be Peter with John Mayall 1968. Just a slight misstyping, sorry.
