Hi Gorden,

Maybe you could contact Rocker directly to coordinate with him on this. 

Cheers,

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.

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.

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!

428 cases, for some reason!)

send on the next batch (will also return any USB sticks!).
