Re "are you saying they also have archive stuff to listen to?" Not yet, but the BBC has developed a prototype BBC-itunes type site, to be launched in 2011/12, so I understand, to enable you to purchase BBC session and concert radio and tv archive recordings, track by track. I do not know how much of the full peel session bbc digital archive such as they have it* will be available from day one (a legal challenge of securing contractual approval from artists and record companies, i should imagine), nor what the pricing policy or file format(s) will be...

* as Martin w said of listeners' off air tapes, it's ironically very much the same story for the original master tapes inside the BBC: before 77 it's very patchy, but pretty much complete from 79/80 onwards

So if you don't have them, and the only copy of a particular session our poster might have, is on the Beeb's playout system, then there's a very good chance that our poster might have a "rarity" in the sense that it is the only way we mortals can hear them, unless we put in a special request to 6music!
