Peel 18th Jan 1982 - Upgrade

[thebarguest]

Having made the existing 30 min version of this show available to the
Peel community a few years ago, I fortunately recently came across 
this expanded version (80 min). This is truly a classic Peel show - 
one of the best I've ever heard from my favourite period.

There is an unusual jokey intro/opening (possibly unique) - was this 
a prank by a "Paul" ?

Sessions are by a great little reggae band called Carnastoan (which 
Peely pronounces "Cornerstone" all the time), and Pink Industry from 
Liverpool.

There is a record by a chap called Timmy Thomas from 1972 which 
starts off sounding like Ultravox circa 1978 !

There's a great gothy, Cure-esque number from a New Zealand outfit 
called Dance Macabre - very 1982.

There's some simply spliffing reggae from Yellowman, and 3 songs from 
the Californian eccentric, and Zappa's friend/enemy, Captain 
Beefheart ! 

Peely's banter is top class, almost stand-up quality, funny, 
interesting.

I've remastered the original mp3 files using Audacity - if anyone 
would like these to have a go themselves, just arsk and I'll upload 
them. I think the audio quality now is pretty good FM (and stereo) ; 
it would be very nice if the 400Box provided the rest of the show.

I've just heard Bill's part-show from 23rd feb 1981 - its excellent 
in every way. The audio quality is prime and the material shit-hot 
(he plays both sides of the new, first New Order single - their best 
ever I think) !
