[peel] 1977 Festive 50 (a billion questions (very slight exaggeration))

[bill.spiby@...]

I suppose that makes the Calico Two instrumental also eligible then. 

I've sent another request to Andy with regard to his recording. I've offered to purchase it from him for a modest fee and organise the digitising myself (not that I have a clue how to do that, but I'll just donate to one of you chaps who knows of such magic).
