John Peel tapes on Ebay - SECURED!!!

[Ed Duffy]

Phew - that's a relief. Well done, mate!

I'd assumed that, because of what you'd said previously, the failed
last-minute snipe must have been yours; very happy to be wrong. So,
count on £20 from me, though I might have to wait till next Friday as
I'm moving house at the moment, and what with HIPs, solicitors and
surveyors, the old bank account's taken a right hammering this month.

Lossless FLAC is great for me too, though to my ageing ears MP3s of
192K+ sound almost as good. I expect activity this will keep the group
buzzing for a fair few months ahead.

Eddie.
