[peel] Archiving the tapes

I'm just about ready to return my batch, probably at the weekend. As these are archive files I have not amended them in any way. They should be a faithful reproduction of the audio from the tapes. The archive files should at some time be made available to interested parties. 
I'll work on copies of the files to stitch together mp3's of the various dates I have for sharing. The wiki will be updated at the weekend.

It's taken a bit longer to do than I expected :-)

Cheers....Jimmy
