Decktician Logs Vol 2 (ii): Top Gear & Friday Night is Boogie Night, 1972

[steve]

Happy Christmas one and all!

Many thanks indeed to Decktician for the latest set of 1972 tracklistings and also to Ken for all his hard work copying and checking them and adding additional info/corrections where needed, as well as Rocker for keeping the whole project afloat. It's really amazing to suddenly fill in so many of the gaps for this period. 

Have made a start on typing the tracklistings up for posting on the wiki, although not got any of the pages up yet. Got to get involved in Christmas stuff soon today, but will try and put a couple of pages up before I do and will then carry on over the holiday period. 

For state of progress, see main wiki calendar page for the year:
http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/1972

The calendar itself is currently a bit of a barren wasteland, but should soon be filling up nicely.

If anyone would like to help out on the typing front, please get in touch offlist or at the wiki.

Cheers,

Steve W

I enjoyed it, but there was a lot of checking to do. And gaps to fill. But we now have the complete run of FNiBN, fully documented, wow!

Everyone has already come back to me with some more anecdotes and memories triggered by the scans.
