Friday Rock Show v Festive Fifty

[dunelm61]

I can't remember what the chart was called, Jim, but you're right 
about it being lengthy. If memory serves, only the top ten were ever 
played, and they took up practically a whole two-hour programme. Other 
tracks making a regular appearance were Shine On You Crazy Diamond and 
Rush's 2112, both of which are essentially the whole side of an LP!

I remember Peel being somewhat concerned when Wire recorded a session 
track of similar length in the late seventies.

Tracks appearing in the Festive Fifty seemed to be getting longer and 
longer, to the point that Peel was actually fading them out in order 
to move things along. Does anyone know what was the longest track to 
make it into the Festive Fifty?
