[peel] Re: 400 Box Shows Shared

Hi Saipanda and thanks for your reply.

I have yet to navigate Wikipedia. Will JP wiki site patch through to downloadable peel shows?

It would be just comforting to know that shows converted to digital format will be accessible for easy download.

Best regards

Gordon

  Hi Gordon,

  First of all, many thanks for being one of those digitizing the tapes. 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.

  Cheers,

  Steve W

  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.
