[peel] Radio 6 - good news

[Martin Wheatley]

As we know the recent 6Music broadcasts of Peeling Back The Years were 
edited to half an hour each before broadcast
They now have the fuller versions with all the conversation but with the 
music edited out for music rights reasons available to listen to online

The Real Audio links are as follows for the full (without music) shows of 
Peeling Back The Years on 6Music

http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/inthearchive/ram/peeling1.ram

Change the number from between 1 and 6 for the episode you want.   1 to 4 
are up at the moment but the other 2 are no doubt imminent

Failing anyone having copies of the original broadcasts years ago (which 
would probably be in worse condition than the RA files) this probably the 
best quality we will get for a while

Since 6Music seem to cut down all their old music broadcasts to 30 minutes 
(In Concerts that were originally 60 mins and so on) like they have these 
progs the thought has come to me that there may be some restriction on 
6Music that stops them going over 30 mins on any particular prog.   Has 
anyone heard anything of this?  Maybe it was part of the agreement with the 
rights holders when 6Music was set up
If so they'd get a lot less hassle from their listeners if they told people 
about it.
