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

[bill.spiby@...]

Hi Julian,

I've received some recordings from Andy. They do contain the broadcast of the top 3 tracks from the 77 Festive 50 (or at least that's all I've spotted thus far). Will update once I've gone through them.

Regards
Bill

I do however have the an MP3 of the top 13 tracks, taken from albums/singles. Not sure where that came from.
