Tapes 399 and 400a from 400 Box now online

[steve]

Hi Mark,

On the 400 Box tapes, I think the the wiki pages are up to date at the moment in terms of basic tracklistings. 

Would be great, though, if people would like to flesh these out and add additional details on the format (single, LP name, session) and label for songs, or add comments (either by Peel or just interesting points on the show). Details on the records are often given in the shows by Peel or can be researched online. Also useful if you can correct any mistakes your find.

Just press the edit button by the side of each section, make your changes, preview and save. Great if you can get an account so you can be contacted if necessary. 

If there are bunches of shows that are shared that don't yet have tracklistings, I normally include these in the help wanted notice at the top of the main 400 Box page on the wiki and also make a call here (to the mailing list) for volunteers.

Here's the address of the main 400 Box page again:
http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/400_Box

Many thanks again for everyone's contributions to the 400 Box. 

Cheers,

Steve W

PS Outside the 400 Box, everyone here is very welcome to help out anywhere on the wiki in terms of corrections, extra information, etc. Please contact me or Steve (TK/so it goes) if you have any questions about the wiki.

Most of us seem to like the music of our 15-25 age period for the rest of our lives and look for sounds that are similar to our youth - I was born in 63 so 78 - 88 is my stylee - I am still a postpunk/indie [kid]old man- that is why Mr Peel was so unique - he moved with the times - I still can't quite believed he like the wave your hands in the air repetitive beat music that took hold in late 80s and seems to refuse to go away! But I still listened to Peel sporadically as I always thought he knew more than me about good music and I had to accept it as a personal blindspot! Yes I still listen to "modern music" but its the Vampire Weekends and the like that push my record buttons! Maybe Humphrey and Stuart are my age?
