Peel Tapes

[ken garner]

I have no idea how this ebay virtual jumble sale thing works, but count me in for £20. Is it 
possible for someone on behalf of this list to contact the seller and make a group offer 
offline? we might consider proposing that collectively the group would organise high 
quality digitisation and have the resources and data (and connections, via me) to then 
donate the collection catalogue, and any rarities or otherwise missing sessions themselves 
to the BBC Radio 1 archive. One or two of you helped in this way during the production 
phase of the book. It's just a suggestion, and we'd only do that after all the fun of the 
sharing has gone on. It would be nice to know what the audio quality is - probably ok, 
mostly... 

By the way, I do not have scripts here for christmas 78 shows so cannot help on the Poco 
mystery, but my best guess is as already suggested: you started your tape early John and 
that one was one of his favourites, which he often played BEFORE starting the actual 
countdown for the year...
