For completists only...

On another tape I discovered two additional short sections from the beginning of the shows for 15/12/82 and 16/12/82, so have updated those for your delectation & delight. The 16/12 missing audio has also been corrected. The old copies have been removed - couldn't find a way with mediafire to simply replace the previous version, sorry.

No, I don't do this kind of thing for a living. Why do you ask?

New versions:

I'm going to work on 1983 next, so I'll let you know what I find shortly. I also have some FF tapes from 1979 but I'm saving them until last ;-) Alas I only have one or two tapes that would appear to be non-FF shows - haven't listened to those yet though.
