[peel] Digest Number 827

[Phyll Smith]

It would be nice to see someone be bothered to get over the contractual
difficulties involved and release some of Peels shows as records - a
Peelenium Box Set, Some Festive Fifties (the All Time FF maybe), His
'Records that Santa Claus Forgot' show, Janice and John in Japan, his
Birthday specials, the list of 'specials' and showcase programs and a decent
archieve, inevitably online, of as many of his shows as possible.  His
genius was not just in spotting a bunch of good records / artists, but in
putting this stuff together, presenting it so uncomprimisingly, but so
welcomingly. And the greatest tribute to the man has to be to make some
records.
