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

[Julian Porter]

Bill,
 
If you've got it, then I must have it, somewhere, as Kev digitised all of Andy's tapes and I sent the lot back to him, with MP3 copies. Must be on my drive somewhere.
 
In recent weeks, I've found a new complete show in my garage!!, It's from 29/4/82 and includes sessions by the Cherry Boys and The Ravishing Beauties. Hopefully that will be available as soon as I get it (and other tapes) to Kev, he copies it and then can make it available. So keep a look out.
 
Top marks for Kev and all the rest of the rippers.
 
Cheers,
 
Julian

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.
