[peel] Early nineties cassette collection

...alternatively we could wait for your spreadsheet to be completed and work around that!

Wow, Rocker, that's fantastic!
 
It sounds like your approach will get through this collection faster than we will through the 500/750 box...when does The Lowman Collection end show-wise? I suggest Steve and myself start from this date rather than duplicate effort. We could then go back and see what early 90s gaps need filling once we get to the end of 2003.
 
Looks like a lot of the 90s will be covered by the time this is all finished!
 
Cheers,
 
Colin.

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!
