NOT The Festive Fifty 1976 ,,,,,,Another different Fifty

[ken garner]

Thanks, Bill - for those of us for whom 75-77 were our first years as Peel / Fluff fans, this 
will be fascinating. In response to your question, I have never come across recordings of 
the first Festive 50 shows, not in the BBC archive or privately, but I am as sure as eggs is 
eggs that someone must have taped them at the time off air - it's just finding that person! 
- or, perhaps, that he or she finds us??
