Peel 400 box - 6 NEW SHOWS FROM 1980

[billfromnorthwales]

Thanks to the WIKI I saw that there was a higher quality but 
incomplete version of the 1979-3-10 show, so spurred on by the 
encouragement and feedback from barguest, I combined the 2 versions 
into one which I called 

1980-3-10 John Peel Radio 1 v2.mp3

and is also available here
