1977 Listeners Top Ten choices

[ken garner]

John - I cannot download and check this out until I get back to 
Glasgow at the weekend, but I wonder is this maybe one of 
those 'Listener's favourite records of the first ten years of the 
show' shows, we communicated about off-list back in March 07?  If it 
is, my record of our email trail and our comparing of notes then 
suggests that these were possibly in fact the shows of the week of 
Mon 3/10/77 - Fri 5/10/77, and not TX in September (see Shows index 
in book, p. 218). Or maybe I've got muddled up again? I should have 
the PasB scripts for those shows somewhere, but give me a couple of 
weeks to dig them out...

ps. I have only just discovered this interesting new (I think) 
promotional site from BBC Archives, which includes nice little video 
interview features with (among others) Simon Rooks (engineer), and 
most interestingly for this list, Julia Weaver (Roger Olive's boss at 
Preservations, Maida Vale), which include fleeting video shots of 
MV4, some R1 reel and DAT tape shelving, and some exciting Maida Vale 
corridors...
