I take all of your points, but feel there are ways and ways of doing 
things. For one thing, I don't imagine the amount of work and number of 
pages required would exceed Martin C Strong's Great Rock Discography. 
In fact, less work would probably be required, as no real research 
would be involved, only the processing of lists which already exist.

For another thing, one needn't publish everything in one volume. For 
example, a book on Peel's Shows 1976-1980 would be fascinating enough, 
covering the transformation of the show during a particularly 
revolutionary period. Its publication would allow toes to be dipped in 
the water to assess the potential market for future volumes.

As for the expense, I for one would be prepared to fork out plenty for 
what I would regard as a music fan's dream. And I can't imagine that 
the book would cost more than people appear willing to pay for second 
hand copies of In Session Tonight on eBay!
