JP plays TD

[ken garner]

1971-1974 are the missing years for tapes of peel shows - hardly any 
in the BBC archive (maybe 3!) and very few surfacing in listener 
land. The 2 Tangerine Dream 'sessions', in February and July 74 
respectively, were both 'private tapes' supplied by the band, not 
Maida Vale jobs. I can check with Radio 1, but I seem to recall they 
are not in the archive either. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news for 
enthusiasts but I think it would be a miracle for these broadcasts to 
turn up now - which of course is the cue for someone here to raise 
their hand!
