[peel] 1979 Festive Fifty Reloaded

[Dr Mango]

Hi Ray.

The 400 box recording of 20 December 1979 is forthcoming for me. This will sort out the running order of the session tracks. Sadly, the quality is pretty poor. An AM recording on a rainy night by the sound of it.

      The perilous state of the extant 1979 Festive Fifty recordings has long bothered me, so I decided to merge the best of the available material into 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.

That last one isn't really a Festive Fifty show per se, but the tracks came from the same tapes and were recorded about the same time. 



If you downloaded my edit of the 1/1/80 show from earlier this year, the one listed on the Wiki above is the same; it hasn't changed this time round.



Thanks to Steve for helping with the Wiki editing.
