[peel] WE HAVE THE TAPES!

[rockerq@...]

Thanks for your feedbacks! Glad to see no-one reporting problems downloading!

Rippers! - The Headcleaning thing is important - helluvalotta brown gunk 
coming off onto my heads and rollers! Never did work out how to adjust azimuth, 
though! Quite a few of the tapes sound fast - I guess the guy's machine may have 
run slow, or maybe even a battery deck - either way any opinions on 
percentage pitch shift would be appreciated as we go along - it may well be that all 
the tapes are equally fast.

Keep a note of that link to my iDisk - Will post to list when I update the 
files but probably only release that address by offlist email in future. You can 
usually find one or two of my shows for Dandelion Radio on there as well.

Just ripping another 1978 show - fantastic so far - George Thorogood & the 
Destroyers; Magazine; Jilted John; The Dickies' bleeped "Eve Of Destruction"; 
Captain Beefheart ; Steel Pulse; Devo; The Lurkers; Alternative TV session (Peel 
introducing "The Good Missionary" - "I've used his position for years") - 
References to "Kid Jerkin" as well as the infamous Radio One Roadshow - brought 
back memories of what exciting times those were! Thanks to Peelie would hear at 
least ten new records a week that I would have bought if I could have 
afforded it! Wish I had now - I wouldn't need to spend (quite) so much on eBay. At 
the time couldn't even afford not to re-use my cassettes & reels!

In an update to the "400 tapes" thread - there are actually 427 of the little 
beggars (and 428 cases, for some reason!)

Not sure when I'll get time to edit and upload any more as all effort now 
transfers to preparing my September Dandelion Radio show - which has to be 
finished by next Monday.

ALSO - The Special Delivery envelopes arrived today! Will spend this evening 
packaging up cassettes in bubblewrap - Hopefully will get time tomorrow to 
sneak out of work to the post office - in which case:

Rippers - you should expect a package each during the day on Wednesday - will 
need to be signed for. Here is the current list of Rippers:

Roger Carruthers (South Wales)
faggy-fewster (London)
Rob Fleay (Derbyshire)
Jimmy Step (Glasgow)
Dr Mango (Lancashire)
Bill From (North Wales)
Chachaman (Leicestershire)

Will include a special delivery envelope back to me in each package - As soon 
as I receive the return package (cassettes plus ripped files on CDr or DVDr 
or USB stick) will send on the next batch (will also return any USB sticks!).

Cheers!
