I have downloaded the full sets of 5 shows each for the 1986/87 F50s 
from 
http://www.30242b.net/JP_FF_index.html
and have discovered that shows named 

JP861224a/b.mp3
and
JP871224a/b.mp3

are the wrong way round; 


Also, for both years the shows are dated 22,23,24,29,30 December

In those days John's shows were Mon, Tue, Wed.
Ken's book only lists these F50 shows as a range of dates, thus

1986
M 22/12 - W 31/12 [ie 22,23,24,29,30,31 - 6 days]

1987
T 22/12 - W 30/12 [ie 22,23,28,29,30 - 5 days]



Therefore the middle show for 1987 should be dated 28th not 24th.
This is borne out here
http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1987


and for 1986
http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1986
concurs with /www.30242b.net/


All this means that 
JP871224a/b.mp3 should be called 
JP861224a/b.mp3 (ie wrong year)


and
JP861224a/b.mp3 should be called 
JP871228a/b.mp3 (wrong day and year).



This also means that Ken is wrong to list 31/12/86 as a F50 show.
Indeed, at the end of 30/12/86 John says "tomorrow night, of course, 
it's Janice and John's New Year's Eve Special between 7.30 and 9.00"
