I think what everyone really needs is a website
containing tracklists of every Peel show from Radio
London Perfumed Gardens onwards, including Night
Rides, with links to files containing versions of each
show as follows

1) the complete show with all Peel's comments
2) the complete show with Peel's comments edited out
3) Peel's comments only
4) assuming some of these shows won't be available in
crystal audio quality, two versions of the complete
show with the music dubbed in from cds

This giant website would of course contain complete
band histories and biographies of everyone and all
Festive 50s would naturally be there for your
listening peasure. 

It's possible there might be a few problems to
surmount on the way, such as time, money, inclination,
availability and lawyers. Apart from that I see
nothing stopping us.
