I thought the illegality laid not in the recording (copying) per se but in public re-broadcasting; not so apparently. My view being that if you cannot guarantee the survival of an original paid-for copy (as in the case of your average CD) then creating a back-up makes for common sense. As you say the artists themselves and JP's estate might have something to say about it . I'll let it be, as you were. Thanks alanjc , rockerq@aol.com wrote: From: rockerq@...

Dandelion Radio is not a pirate - we are licenced with PRS and MCPS - and pay a lot of royalties every month for the privelege! (We are entirely funded by contributions from our DJs and staff) - There is no way we could jeopardise our position by playing old BBC broadcasts which would be seen as illegal copies by the BBC or the many publishing companies with interests in the material - in fact even Peelie's estate may have an interest. This is also why we cannot set up a website to distribute the shows - whoever could be shown to have set up the site would be legally responsible for its content - so the various upload / download services are our best option at least in the short term - they at least give some anonymity to the uploaders. btw I have had no probs downloading 90 percent of the recent files - one thing you probably need is the most recent versions of your system software, your browser, and its various plugins. (I use a Mac, btw). Has anyone else been having problems? Our best bet for distributing the shows long-term may be some sort of server like the one run by PhilFestive50, which is currently offline - access can then be controlled by password login etc. Cheesr!

Also, the future is likely to provide better tools for doing stuff than we have now. For example noise reduction and pitch/speed changing algorithms are constantly improving, so you can bet your bum that if you process the files with what's considered to be state-of-the-art now, someone looking at them in the future will hate you for it. That said, there is also the Silk Purse/Sow's Ear theorem, and at the end of the day, whatever people have done with their recordings, we all appreciate the time you've put in, cheers Roger --- Jimmy Stepek wrote: > I'm just about ready to return my batch, probably at > the weekend.

Further down the line, when time permits, we can try again with better equipment. My Nakamichi 482 packed in after the first 7 tapes so the last few were done using my old Technics deck. Still a good deck but maybe, ok probably, not as good as the Naka. I understand one of the rippers was using a Dragon.

Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 17:12:19 EDT Subject: [peel] Archiving the tapes Message-ID: Well I have kept all my original files (as AIFFs), and have then corrected speed and edited together as shows, and created FLACs of these. I guess for archiving purposes we should keep FLACs of both original rips (for each side of each tape) and of individual shows. That way we have the best currently available copy of each show, but also can go back to those original files if other recordings of the same show turn up at a later date, and maybe fill in the tape flip gaps or other missing sections - or indeed if better software becomes available to increase the sound quality we can extract from those original files. So for rippers returning their files to me - by all means send me your edited shows, but also throw in a copy of your original rip files, assuming you still have them! Some have already sent me just the unedited original rips - and that is fine - although it will take me a while to get round to editing them myself - I can hardly keep up with the ones I rip myself!

Name drop alert: I emailed David Gedge and Darren Heyman during the week to tell them I had this and would they like a copy, and they both said, `yes please!", so you'd better race them to get it: my megadownload storage limit is getting full up pretty fast, so this won't be up there for very long. Get it today. Big files, so download will take a while, but I hope you think it's worth it in the end. k Peel 2000-12-19 "25 Years of the Festive 50" Special, pt 1 142.9 MB, 1 02' 27" http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PTLDZJ88 Peel 2000-12-19 "25 Years of the Festive 50" special, pt 2 137.9 MB, 1 00' 14" http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KWIF3D5R From ready2rock@...

There's 3 hours of that week in circulation. I think it's the bulk of the Wednesday or Thursday broadcast (I did once work it out but I can't remember now). I happened to be off work that week and taped the bulk of the first day myself, using my brother's top quality stereo system. Sadly, the tape mysteriously disappeared, which caused me much grief. By the way, thanks very much for the full 19.12.2000 show. I've been waiting for that one to turn up for a while.

The quality is pretty bad (32kbps), and the dates, which I worked out from comments made by JP, are Thursday and Friday 8 and 9 April 1993. Alleluia for Ken, so that we can at last have a decent quality recording, and rejoice in John's barely disguised sarcasm at having to play Whitney Houston, plus the hate mail which he reads out with aplomb.

Wow! I used to love their sound and 'Psycho' is a classic! I'm not normally interested in reformed bands. Why would you want to see a band in their 40s grinding out tracks they composed and performed when they were in their 20s? That's not music that's cabaret right?! However - I am curious to see how these old coots have developed - did anyone record this session? Would you share it with us please? Many many thanks for all the recent Peel show posts also! Well done to all those involved in the 400 Box project! DeeDee From Phyll@... Sun Sep 7 12:41:03 2008 From: Phyll@... (Phyll@...)

Message-ID: <4715510.79211220784062923.JavaMail.www@wwinf3709> I though it was worth noting here that they've just started to demolish the Scunthorpe Baths Hall. It seem to have been overlooked by al the biographers, but particularly anal listeners will remember that Peel had a very special relationship with Scunny Baths (i should probibly explain for the un-initiated the Baths were an old swimming baths, which was designed to have the pool boarded over in the evening to convert into a dance hall. Long after the pool closing the place remained open as a live venue, with the advent of rock music, moshing, pogoing and stage diving the boards over the pool developed a little more 'spring' than might have been a desirable feature of a formal dance floor, and threatened to drop the audience into whatever was left of the collapsing pool beneath.) Through the lean / unfashionable years, of the late 80's and 90's when the John Peel Roadshow was pullled up on chocs most of the year, John still made regular pilgiramages up to Scunthorpe for live sets. I understand this was due to a very close friendship with the manager of the baths, rather than a deep seated love of Scunthorpe. And very fine shows they were indeed. However the place has been closed for the last few years and has just fallen to the developers axe. Ironically just at the point when live music seems to be in the ascendant again. Does anyone else remember John's Scunny Baths shows? Or even have any of the attendant posters etc.? > From thebarguest@... Sun Sep 7 13:46:00 2008 From: thebarguest@...

I'd not been keeping up with the Wiki so I hadn't realised these had gone up. A couple of the links do give me download errors though: 28 May 1979 says, "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable." 5th June 1979 says, "Unfortunately, the link you have clicked is not available." The "temporarily unavailable" error usually corrects itself, but I've not seen that second message before. Eddie.

If you had asked me "did you tape the Festive 50 in 1996?" I would have denied it vociferously. Anyway, I must have had bad FM reception that night, because my recording I discover is in mono, so I ripped this one in 320kbps mono, so on headphones it sounds a bit odd, but OK through speakers. Otherwise as before, dolby on, treble boosted. On paper I was expecting this to be not an especially thrilling listen, and in truth it's hardly a rip roaring show (John does not seem that involved), but I still enjoyed most of the Top 12 again, once I got there (especially Why? by The Sweeney, which I had completely forgotten). There's a neat link to the 25 Years of the F50 show posted last weekend, with the Billy Bragg number. I think I might have taped this because, like Peel, I expected Arab Strap to be number one, a record that still absolutely perfectly captures the place (Falkirk and Glasgow) and the times (mid 90s). The celebrated, right-on "24 hour café" in Woodlands Road mentioned in the story eventually became a Beanscene coffee house, and is currently in liquidation.

By my reckoning that means Peel Day 08 should be Thurs 9 October, as you suspected.

I think the weird vibrato on the Essential Logic track is deliberate, but there's some very unsettling speed fluctuations on the rest of it, and I've had to stitch it together from several attempts, so I'm not sure that we can call this a definitive archive copy, but hey, it was fun trying. Interestingly it always seems to give up just after Peely has said (of Link Wray) '"Well, how anyone who's made records as good as that, can make records as frightful as his version of 'It's all over now Baby Blue', which is Simon Bates' Record of the Week this week (chuckles), I simply don't know!".

I started out collecting the sessions myself, though as of late I've had an increasing interest in full shows. Anyway, if session requests are considered okay here, these are some of the ones I've been looking for: Brainiac, Man... or Astroman? (early sessions, anything before '00 really), Gorky's Zygotic Mynci (also early sessions, up to about the time of Gorky 5), Essential Logic, Lora Logic, Servotron, Rachels, Ron Geesin (Ken's book mentions an upcoming official release, which is fantastic, but as it hasn't happened yet I'm still looking :) ), Stackridge, Lewis and Gilbert, Fela Kuti, Ludus, Thinking Fellers Union, Stump (after the first one) I doubt most of these will be about, but I thought I'd get it out there for the record.

Digital FM is totally fine by me, incidentally. I know there are people who are all "LOSSLESS OR DEATH", but I think something like this typically sounds way better than a true lossless recording ripped from a 25 year old C60. Great news on the Geesin as well! I don't know how I managed to completely miss any trace of its release, but I'm glad it's available.

Well, obviously all other things being equal lossless is preferable, but as you say, frequently that's not an option; having grown up with tenth generation tape copies of broadcasts recorded from a station with a weak signal, the options we have today are still a marked improvement, and I've always been of the philosophy that any recording is better than no recording anyway!

Is there going to be a web site where Peely's shows are divided into decades, years, months, weeks? and can be downloaded at any time and listened to at any time? I appreciate that members using the web site would probably need a password to avoid outsiders either misusing the service or making issues about copy rights etc. The fact that the music is in mono and of a certain quality I cant imagine any of the artists that had their music played on Peely's show would complain. If anything it would only serve to remind listeners of the existence of these bands.

Assume you can do this -- or all the visual features of the iPod Touch would be a bit of a waste of time. I love having the artwork for records/cds (or radio show tracklistings) on the mp3s. Like on an iPod Touch, it gives you a real "virtual record box" feel -- especially heartwarming on the playlists I have of all my family's old singles and albums. You just flick through all the artwork pictures until you get something you want to listen to. Very old school. I was talking to a friend of mine (with Windows) about this, but he had already ripped all his old records to wma (if that's what it's called) rather than mp3 and didn't want to re- convert everything. If iTunes for Windows doesn't cut it, assume there must be some kind of Windows software that let's you do all this stuff.

That's ok - I wasn't implying anything except that you were asked for a lot at one go!! I have the Essential Logic session http://www.divshare.com/download/5374453-d46 I had the Laura Logic until recently but lost it in a faulty CD incident The way I do sessions is that I have them stored in one file - not split into songs. The source was a tape deck with use of the pause key subsequently copied onto the computer as MP3 and then archived on data DVD. This being the case they are never going to be as good as the copies in the BBC archive so it's worth keeping an eye on 6Music progs that play some old sessions Mostly my recordings are ok to listen but don't expect pristine audio quality and they do have the odd last and first notes missing - real life sometimes intruded on reaching the pause button! martinw From michstoecker@...

Digital FM is totally fine by me, incidentally. I know there are people who are all "LOSSLESS OR DEATH", but I think something like this typically sounds way better than a true lossless recording ripped from a 25 year old C60. Great news on the Geesin as well! I don't know how I managed to completely miss any trace of its release, but I'm glad it's available. He's always been one of my favorites, and weirdly unlike Viv Stanshall and Ivor Cutler his sessions never seemed to get traded about by fans. From michstoecker@...

I started out collecting the sessions myself, though as of late I've had an increasing interest in full shows. Anyway, if session requests are considered okay here, these are some of the ones I've been looking for: Brainiac, Man... or Astroman? (early sessions, anything before '00 really), Gorky's Zygotic Mynci (also early sessions, up to about the time of Gorky 5), Essential Logic, Lora Logic, Servotron, Rachels, Ron Geesin (Ken's book mentions an upcoming official release, which is fantastic, but as it hasn't happened yet I'm still looking :) ), Stackridge, Lewis and Gilbert, Fela Kuti, Ludus, Thinking Fellers Union, Stump (after the first one) I doubt most of these will be about, but I thought I'd get it out there for the record.

Was halfway through recording my Dandelion Radio show for October - so have gone back and rejigged the beginning - now will start with the 1968 John Peel's Top Gear session version of Pink Floyd's "Julia Dream" - which includes a bit of Peel's introduction - a fitting tribute to Peelie as well as it's the fourth anniversary this month. No doubt it was someone on this group who enabled me to get hold of that session - so thanks to whoever it was some months ago! It brings home how important the ongoing project of ripping old Peel shows & sessions is! The track I had been intending to start with - which is now demoted to second - was The Flying White Dots and "Land Of Oz" - which samples the Peel Session Version of "A huge ever growing pulsating brain" by The Orb - including the chiming guitar riff from "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".

That's all I have. Sacrilege as it may be on this list I tried to keep the as pure as possible without talked over intros and outros which John was very prone to do. Also as you spotted a track short - the perfect dj didn't always front announce and sometimes I guessed wrong I don't have any of the tapes now. The deteriorating condition of what were originally cheap tapes anyway led me to transfer them all to mp3 several years ago as a matter of urgency so I do know what the Peel prog converters are going through I have to admit although audiophiles no doubt stick their fingers in their ears I have been pleasantly surprised with how well many these sessions sound now.

The link below (which you may have to cut and paste and repair where Yahoo chops it up) is for a rapidshare archive of download links to what looks to me like mp3s of every single Essential Mix broadcast, from the first one in 1993 'til the middle of last year.

It's definitely very much appreciated by me, and many others I'm sure. I know a Peel database is something other people are thinking about as well, and I don't want to tread on any toes. Was just thinking about your point on the years, months etc, As far as the Wiki goes, it can't really act as an online database of shows, but think it seems an easy enough way of listing information on things that are already scattered around cyberspace, including links to where shows can be downloaded, if people are good with this. Anyway, first of all, I have added a "shows by date" section to the Wiki "400 Box" page, to make shows easier to find on a month by month basis: http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/400_Box Also made a start on rejigging the dates pages, with what you said in mind. Here's my simple efforts for 1977, 1978 and 1979 (the latter very much still under construction), pulling together shows from the 400 Box, the DVD torrent set, and some posted here in recent times -- no doubt there are others I've missed: http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1977 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1978 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1979 Seems to me that this would be easy enough to expand to cover all the years in the date index (http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Year), although it would take a fair amount of work to get all the tracklistings and comments sections sorted for every show. (On the other hand, one good thing about the Wiki is that it's pretty easy to use, and everyone is always welcome to join in.) Anyway, just an idea. Any thoughts from folks? I'm happy if other people have alternative things they want to do instead.

(saipanda) Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 05:51:23 -0000 Subject: Essential... In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Very interesting. A similar kind of example (for live recordings) is found on the boards of one of the fan groups of a certain "only band that matters": http://clashcity.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10 A word or two on this history of this. Many of the recordings were previously available on an earlier version of the same boards. This was hit by big problems when a magazine (Record Collector?) mentioned the site. Later, the "Megalist" took the whole thing to a different level -- with the advantage now that the site itself doesn't host the recordings. If links get broken, unavailable, people just ask for re-postings and fresh links are edited in. No doubt there are many other similar band things people here know. Think one thing about Peel shows is the vast number of them over so many years and the fact that they're scattered around assorted sites and other places. Struck me that a huge advantage on the cataloguing front is the famous DVD torrents that DeeDee put out last year. This gives a whole block of stuff already "out there" in "one place". A while back, I tried to give a rough listing of these shows on the Wiki: http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/17-DVD_Torrent_Compilation What I was trying to suggest on my last post here to Gordon is that with addition of the 400 Box shows and stuff posted here, the 17 DVD torrent could be the basis of a calendar of Peel shows on the Wiki. This could fairly be easily expanded to take in full tracklisting info, etc, people's collections (eg (the "Andrew T tapes"), shows put up on other websites. Here's the links again for 1977, 1978, 1979 that I posted last time. (1979 doesn't really include torrent shows right now.) http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1977 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1978 http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1979 Thinking this could also be useful for the next few years (1980-82) to see where the 400 Box overlaps with things already available. Actually, Rocker, I was rooting through my hard drive a couple of nights ago and came across a show that I now think is 25 August 1978 (Tanz Der Youth, King, Wildcats sessions) -- think this may be upcoming on the 400 Box. (Happy to repost this here if anyone doesn't have it.) i haven't been able to trace exactly where this came from, but think it was up here among the ones, mostly early 80s, shared at the end of last year. Does anyone have a list of what all these were? Suppose it is just a matter of cracking on with it. Just wondered if other people had ideas on this general subject. Not so keen to plunge ahead if someone else has a big plan. Like I said, I don't want to tread on other people's toes with this. On the other hand, if other folk want to join in, I'm certainly good with that. Sorry to ramble on again re Wiki. If anyone wants to discuss these things please feel free to drop me an email or start a discussion over there. Many thanks again to all those ripping 400 Box shows!

OK, so I know The Fall's set from the show has been going round on the web for some time, and The Wedding Present's set is on their 6 CD Peel Sessions set on Sanctuary Records (admittedly ripped from some other listener's tape, because for some bizarre reason only the Fall's live set exists in the BBC R1 archive, not the other two or the whole show, even though the whole thing was pre-recorded anyway!), but I haven't noticed The House of Love's set going around - and it's very impressive, it's easy to forget how highly they were regarded for a brief time (compared to the weddoes, who, sorry David, sound a bit ragged on the night, I think). But some of the the best things about this wholly unrepresentative show are, I think, the intros: Walters, The Shend, Scott Piering... and of course Peel's emotional speech at the end. By the way, if anyone has any other more normal Peel shows, (when he was on for 90 minutes , 4 nights a week, mid-evening) from this golden period (April 89 - Sept 90), I'd love to hear them.. ken Peel 50th Birthday show 1989-08-30a part 1 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4ZGSLF9E Peel 50th Birthday show 1989-08-30a part 2 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G5ACOJ6D From rockerq@...

I think I might be that listener! David told me that when they were compiling the box set they found that quite a few of the Weddoes' BBC master tapes had gone missing, probably because in the days before digital masters, the analogue quarter inch reel tape was the only master for each session or live set - so when the odd track had previously been used on various releases (Tommy, Strange fruit etc), the original master would have been sent to the cutting studio - and then no-one had bothered to check whether they were returned to the BBC archive.

And Steve (Teenage Kicks) and Ken for today's non-400 Box uploads -- great stuff! Yeah, should be no problem at the Wiki with patching through to downloadable shows. If you'd like to check it out, here's the link for the main 400 Box page: http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/400_Box Just click through on the date links for the available shows so far. File links are at the bottom of the date pages. The only slightly enigmatic ones are shows from Rocker where "via Rok" is taken to indicate you can get them directly from Rocker's iDisk public page. Obviously don't want to throw details about this around too casually. Think people on the list will be aware of how to connect to this. But plan to put up public server links of mp3 versions of these shows at some stage (if anyone wants to do this, please feel free), until a more permanent online home is found for the whole collection. In the meantime, if existing links go out of date or anything, re-ups should be no problem. Will sort out a place for such requests at some point. Or just ask here on the newsgroup.

Personally, I'm in favor of keeping things relatively under wraps until the 400 Box is done, then releasing the whole lot as torrents. As I mentioned the other day, the former incarnation of the Clash list came under heavy pressure once the fact that there were unofficial recordings hosted there was written about in one music magazine -- in a letter from a fan saying how great it was. Once Peel shows are released on torrents -- as the 17 set has shown -- they can stay out there, with no big attribution regarding who was responsible originally and therefore no comeback on anyone. That way, the good work can continue. If we can sort out a private group server for people here, all the better. Then release occasional torrents by year, collection, theme, whatever. Just my opinion. --- In peel@yahoogroups.com, "thebarguest" wrote: > > Works t'other way as well - the more peeps that "discover", then > the more chance of a "holy grail" transmuting from a tape in a loft > to www for all !

I've said in print the show was the party at the ICA with Delgados/Dreadzone- my pass can be seen on p159 - but now I listen to these tapes, I seem to recall the party was perhaps not actually broadcast, but these 2 pre-recorded 1- hr celebrations wet out instead. Lamacq kicks off the show live from ICA, true, but then we slip into a pre-produced sequence, followed by a 1-hr Peel session retrospective. It was a surprise party so Radio Times won't help. Unless anyone else remembers? Did Peel get 4 hrs, and the live sets go out later, not in these tapes from Andrew? The details are up on Jon's peelsessions index page, which suggests, oh, hell, I give up: for the reasons below there is no way I could remember. I suppose Alison Howe might recall... About the party itself, I know it was wed 1 Oct 97 live from the ICA, The Mall, London. I know coz I was there. The 30th anniversary of Peel's 1st show on BBA Radio 1. I remember everyone teasing David Gedge upstairs at the bar because he was too embarrassed to go and speak to Clare Grogan "but she's just over there, go on," we said. Emma and Paul from the Delgados saying they couldn't believe all the famous people there. Mathew Bannister being very genial. The plaque/letter from the Prime Minister being presented to Peel on stage to universalastonishment. Of course you have to understand, I was very, vewy drunk... k --- In peel@yahoogroups.com, "andrewthezmore" wrote: > > --- In peel@yahoogroups.com, "thebarguest" wrote: > I'm pretty sure that it's Oct 1st, but the tape is up in the loft > again now so I can't check. > > There was an advert for this show in the papers in the style of a > tape inlay.

(when I say Œmy¹, they actually belong to work...) No need to feel autoreverse shame; the Marantz turned out to have autoreverse options, and seeing as there are a lot of tapes to be digitized, and the general quality of the tapes are not that brilliant, making azimuth correction of limited use, I may well end up using autoreverse myself. I tend to leave the tapes digitising whilst I¹m off doing other work, and as they¹re all of varying length, you can¹t set a timer; using autoreverse will greatly reduce the time I have to spend popping back to check the progress. Glad you got it sorted anyway ­ I tried so many times, I started to hear the first three tracks, complete with ghastly speed fluctuations, in my dreams ;-) Cheers Roger On 24/09/2008 23:14, "rockerq@..." wrote: > > > > OK today I tried to play this tape - I wound it back and forth end to end a > few times first - and it played fine all the way through first time! > > I guess it must have been loosened up by repeated windings, or maybe my > cassette deck has a more powerful motor than most - its an autoreverse (Boo! > Hiss!

I discovered these tapes unlabelled a few weeks ago while undertaking an enforced clear out of my university office (to facilitate space for window repairs), where I moved part of my tape archive in the mid-90s, for what reason now escapes me. I had forgotten I had taped complete the two consecutive shows Peel had done live in October 1994 from BBC Scotland's old studios in Queen Margaret Drive as part of the Glasgow City Council backed `Ten Day Weekend" music festival. So this week's downpod from me is six hours of Glasgow-focussed musical entertainment, the highlights being perhaps Nectarine No 9's session and the squeaky BBC Scotland chair (Friday), and the football match reports from the Glasgow Herald's David Belcher, and John Williamson (Saturday). The Saturday show is clearly the better and more eventful of the two, with more interviews and jokes, though both are great musically, with the Frank Black and Teenage Fanclub session getting a deserved repeat, and a spin of the H Foundation. There is also a brief mention of me. Listening to these over the past few evenings for the first time since that weekend, the social whirl of those 3 days all came back to me. Peel, Hawkes and Alison arrived on Thursday afternoon and after a meal in Long Fung we all went down to see Uresei Yatsura at the original 13th Note basement café venue at the top of Glassford Street. We all teased Hawkes for declaring without irony that he "really liked the chick on bass". On Friday afternoon, I introduced and interviewed Peel at a packed GFT chat show, at which several old pals of his showed up and an unknown woman presented him with a tray of pot plants. On Saturday we went for lunch in Gandolfi's in Albion Street (Peel had the Finnan haddock, still, I was pleased to note on a recent visit, a staple of the menu), and then a crowd of us went to the BBC studio for the show, where, as Peel rightly credits, only the BBC Scotland engineer Andrew stayed calm amid the mad onslaught of special guests and features. Afterwards we trooped down to Mother India for a curry, then saw AC Acoustics and Shriek at Nice N Sleazy's. I will never forget Hawkes' and Alison's blank faced astonishment at emerging up the stairs onto Sauchiehall Street at midnight and, confronted by the sea of humanity, noise, ambulances, taxis and activity all over the street, asking "what's going on? Has there been some incident", and me and Stewart from the BBC saying, no, just a normal Saturday night in Glasgow, it's ok.

Great to read the background story as well. Here's another one from me, similar to the 1978 one with sessions from ex-Damned guys a few days back. Have looked through old messages here and think they were both actually shared originally in Flac on a torrent several months ago. I converted them mp3, but still oretty big files. Many thanks to the original sharer, whose name I've haven't been able to dig up. Sorry about that. Anyway, this one again is coming up on the 400 Box and isn't completely great sound, but it's a pretty historic show, including the second Undertones session, the Banshees second album, as well as the first part of JP's 40th birthday party 40 choices. Be interested to see if the 400 Box version has better sound. The birthday records are already available (with better sound) as part of DeeDee's torrent epic -- which I'm currently trying to catalogue for the Wiki (no small job), as well as Jon's site.

Just listened to the Fall/Adam and the Ants show...Brilliant! I'm assuming its a repeat of the fall session because the date doesn't tally with the one listed on the box set. Also great to hear Mars.

(bty997881) Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:05:07 -0000 Subject: [slightly OT] Teeny Kix Message-ID: I was going through my old DAT tapes yesterday, as I'm selling my DAT machine, and amongst the inevitable Peel shows (which I will be uploading, of course), I found something I sent to Peel on the occasion of one his birthdays, in the late 90's at a guess. I was saddened at the time to have it returned with the standard BBC rejection slip, as it was never really intended as a submission for airplay, just a kind of novelty birthday thing. I like to think that it was filtered out by a BBC office drone, and that John never got to hear it, because I'm sure he would never have been so rude as to return a gift, but instead would have discretely binned it with all the other stuff. I was chuffed to find this because I've lost the actual CD, (which was made at a time when blank CDR's were a fiver each!) and the multi-track files. I've still got the rejection slip though, which i treasure along with my Peel-autograph-on-a- fag-packet. Anyway, here it is: http://tinyurl.com/4lelsh cheers Roger From ken_garner@...

I've noticed the older my rips are, the fewer downloads they get. And this is the oldest show or part-show I have in my possession unedited. The cassette has my handwriting on it, but I do not think it was me that taped it (my other surviving 84 show fragments do not start til late February, and I do remember doing those). I have a vague memory one of students may have given it to me, as a gift from their Dad or something, sometime during the 90s, and I dated using my shows index.

My problems with Adobe Audition have been (I hope) resolved by upgrading its status in the ctrl-alt-delete window, zooming out on the waveform and making the window smaller, all tips I found after much research on the Net. I couldn't work my way round Goldwave, so I'm sticking with this. Best wishes Steve [Teenage Kicks] --- In peel@yahoogroups.com, "saipanda" wrote: > > Many thanks for this one, Steve.

I don't write thanks for every show just to avoid clogging up everyone's inboxes but it's always great to receive them. Maybe I should send an offlist thankyou each time? Btw, a couple of weeks ago I met up with madeofale, who used to be quite active on this list. We were passing through Santa Cruz on a USA holiday and went for a meal with him and saw a gig at the Catalyst, he's a good guy, especially as he paid for the meal:) He'd lost touch a bit with what has been going on so I updated him on the 400 box etc. He still helps out with Marcelle's listen again facility.
