[peel] Pig's Big 78s released

[Paul Bryant]

I wonder if some of these choices will be the same as
those on the great John Peel's Archive Things lp
released back in 1971-ish by the BBC... for those who
have not committed the tracklist of this weird
collection to memory, here it is (I finally found
someone who had the lp and made them get it out of
their loft and dub it for me...) He played this stuff
when he did the Night Ride programmes which were in
1969/70 I think
