[peel] John Peel tapes on Ebay - SECURED!!!

[Roger Carruthers]

Nice one! My £20 will be it¹s way to you shortly.
As I said, I¹m more than happy to be involved in the ripping. I wont bother
to argue the toss about formats - whatever the consensus is is fine by me,
and that appears to be .flac. (though I¹m quite happy to also encode some
high quality .mp3¹s for those with slower connections).
Presumably those of us who wish to be involved in the ripping should now
send our delivery addresses to to Rocker off-list, and perhaps we should all
pay our own p & p costs to him ?
Cheers
Roger
