[peel] What actually happened in the first Festive 50 of 1976?

[Jimmy Stepek]

Ken, 
I just noted a slight error in the scan "peelPasB19761227". The date they have given for the Mady Prior & June Tabor session is 23/09/1976 when I would think it should be 1975 as the session I have was broadcast on 20/10/75.
Cheers....Jimmy
