You may remember that Steve Lowman first posted about his collection to the
group back in April - he is clearing out his attic & wants the tapes to be
digitized.
Well, this morning he delivered the tapes to me - thanks, Steve - there
looks to be at least 500 cassettes, with many full shows from the early 90s,
plus many tapes compiled from shows in the late 80s, which may or may not
turn out have much of Peel's links on them!
My plan is to move onto this collection once the 400 box is completed -
there are currently several batches of the 400 box out with the rippers, and I
have the final 3 batches to send out in the next few weeks.
If anyone else UK-based is interested in becoming a ripper - all you need
is a decent cassette deck, a recording system with analogue to digital
capability (eg a Mac, a PC, or a separate recorder), and time which you can spare
for the project! - message me offlist.
Thanks to everyone who contributed in 2008 we have sufficient funds to
cover the remainder of the 400 box - I send each batch out by special delivery,
and include a prepaid special delivery envelope so the ripper can return the
tapes with the digitized files to me. When we start on this next project I
will be seeking more contributions, probably in a few weeks.
When I get time I will get the basic info for the tapes (as far as can be
ascertained from the sleeve inserts and labels) onto a new spreadsheet.
Cheers!
Rocker
