[peel] Re: 1979 Festive Fifty Reloaded

I thought Isector was the true "god" around these parts!

 

Thanks Ray, looks like I can archive all those other versions now...

 

I remember my first exposure to the Festive 50 was when my Physics teacher
brought in the list to school in 1979 and generated a veritable huddle...

vaguely show-length pieces, plus some tasty leftovers. Not much new here: I
did dig up some recordings of the pre-FF session tracks, albeit largely
without John's patter, although you can hear the great man breathing in
places. If you turn up the volume to '11' you might even be able to make out
some of his dialog in the space between tracks.
