11 January 1979 (new download: 400 box)

[ken garner]

...just checked back through sources and notes, and yes, you're right, I'm wrong. I think 
this date was one of the 400 'blanks' I had back in 92/93 period. Then, last year, I got the 
info about Scritti Politti, Stiff Little Fingers and Undertones from two generally reliable 
collectors, I cannt recall who, but possibly amongst this congregation (or not). But 
checking tonight my printed-out working versions in order, in a later version I only now 
notice I have scored out in ink 'undertones', which suggests at a late stage I did discover 
this was wrong, but omitted to make the change in the database. I have to confess there 
are a handful of oversights like this in the book. Ponderosa Glee Boys is another: the TX 
date is correct in the shows index, wrong in the sessionography. Argh!

really enjoyable one. According to Ken's book, this show had repeats of the debut sessions 
from the Undertones and Scritti Politti. There's no Undertones track on the tape and Peel 
doesn't mention them in his closing comments, but for now I've gone with the book and 
put these details on the wiki.

November 1978 that I posted this week. I had to spend some not inconsiderable time 
adjusting the speed of this. The recording was clearly running too fast at the start, but 
then it slowed during the second half. I ended up having to chop my wav rip in half, 
correct the respective speeds and then stitch it back together.

the hat now and again. In fact, even though the recording is only 45 mins long, it's a great 
mix.
