[peel] Archiving the tapes

[RobF]

Good question - I have pitch-corrected & normalised all my 
archive flacs, so there is no going back for me now!

I haven't tried to mess with the EQ, but I have fixed any 
glitches and drop outs and glued together shows into a 
single flac where they have been split over various tapes.
