[peel] world service anyone?

[Mike Parker]

great story roger,peel motivated me in my job years ago too,i remember taking in the previous nights show to listen to in the factory with the blessing of the boss who even supplied the cable to plug in to the works electricity,no world service tapes though at that time so i guess this one`s from the 90`s and only 36 min`s long but another one might turn up,cheers mike.http://www.megaupload.com/?d=flihi493

Yes, indeed. Peely on the World Service was a lifeline for me when I spent a few months working on a Moshav in the Negev desert many moons ago. 
 We used to park the tractor near wherever we were working in the tomato fields so that we could listen to him on it’s crappy little radio. I think I wrote to him once to tell him how much this meant to us – I hope he got it.
That would have been around the time the Stranglers made Dreamtime (we went to see them play in Tel Aviv!), which Wikipedia tells me was 1986; do you have anything from this vintage, by any chance?
Cheers

i`ve just found a peel comp of the world service that i used to record to video on the ''sky''platform & then transfer to tape,unfortunately i frequently forgot to set the video timer for these shows so there`s only one or two[probably one] that i managed to create, but as these shows seem to be pretty hard to come by i guess someone would be gratefull for it`s existence albeit in comp form?
