Peel Playlists

[dunelm61]

You're right, Simon Smith! The 10/12/76 show (one hour long) 
featured exclusively punk tracks, but these were mostly American, 
not many British punk bands having released any records by that 
stage.

The August Bank Holiday 1977 show (two hours long) featured 
exclusively punk records, but this time they were mostly British.

The Festive Fifty of 1977 (which included only records from that 
year - it was not an all-time chart as in 1976 and again in 1978), 
was chosen by Peel himself, presumably because he felt that the 
tastes of his listeners had not quite kept pace with his show's 
change of direction.

It certainly would be fascinating to see published the playlists 
from that era - I wonder if an author such as Ken Garner or a 
publication such as Record Collector would consider such a project?
