Oh dear Ken!
Here we go again.
I was planning on putting my tapes back in order this weekend after digging
out various tapes for "that damned book" {:�)
So I'll have a look and see if I have the relevant shows.
Phil
P.S.
Received the books today, will get cheque off to you this weekend.

  I've now found the time to go through the list of audio files and
  tracks on that torrent listing posted here for the Peelenium, and
  thought I should acknowledge straight up (before someone else tells
  me!) that there are a small number of discrepancies between those
  listings and the master PEELENIUM list I got from show producer of
  the time Anita Kamath and assistant lynntheofficejunior macarthy, and
  which readers will therefore find in THE PEEL SESSIONS book. There
  are 2 minor errors it has alerted me to in my book, which I now
  discover I had correct in my copy but which got formatted wrong and I
  missed on the pdf proofs, which I read on a laptop sitting in the
  market place at Vevey on the shores of Lake Geneva on my summer
  holiday (we just ran out of time for hard copy proofs). In my defence
  I spotted many other such glitches, but missed these: 1931, title
  is 'Oh Donna Clara'; 1939, title is 'I Don't Know'. There also
  appears to be a disagreement over whose version of 'Silver Dollar'
  was played in 1950 - script says Eve Young, torrent says Teresa
  Brewer, who wrote it.

  These, however, are minor matters compared to the following. Can
  someone help me as to the provenance and form of these audio files:
  are they, in other words, genuine complete recordings from off air,
  including Peel's back announce of the records featured? I do not have
  the time or patience to work out how to download these things and how
  to listen to them myself - baffled old hack tries to insert C90 in
  laptop USB slot, etc - and I have no idea who is right, but we may be
  able to sort this fairly easily, for several of the respective shows
  just happen to be ones in the BBC archive. I shall forward this
  message to Radio 1 archivist Hannah as well as Anita and see if
  anything pops up. And some of you might know too. OK, here we go:
