[peel] Re: 1978 Festive Fifty

[Eddie Duffy]

Many thanks for all your efforts, John. I'm not generally a fan of the 
'all-time' F50s, but these catch the Peel show in a fascinating 
transitional period. This particular chart, coming a couple of weeks 
after the punk rock special, remind us that the old guard didn't get 
dropped overnight (at least not by the listeners). I look forward to 
hearing any more shows you might have from this era.

Steve - it is an odd one: the links do indeed point to the '79 files. 
However, the text in the links is actually correct. So it just needs a 
bit of cut and pasting:
