Yet More Festive Fifties - 1986 & 1987

[ray_b2]

More old stuff for all you trainspotter types... different recordings of material you probably already have.

1986 Festive Fifty is just the countdown plus one or two preceding session tracks. Thus these are less complete that the recordings already out there, but do have decent sound quality (all mp3s are 256k stereo, as usual):

I also came across this partial show from early/mid December 1986 - have been unable to date it precisely, but it seems to be some sort of "Peel's Favourite Sessions of the Year" show. Sound quality is a bit hissy. Contains some excellent Miaow tracks that I never tire of listening to...

1987 Festive Fifty is complete, 5 x 2-hour shows. I patched in 30 seconds or so per show from the recordings currently out there (which incidentally all run 2-3% too fast) to cover tape flips. These are large files as a result and each is split into two pieces to satisfy Mediafire.

22/12/87 to 30/12/87 (5 shows, 10 pieces):

Finally, a fragment of the first post-Festive Fifty show in 1988. I obviously recorded this to capture the Sugarcubes session, which I have not seen online before. Does that get me a Blue Peter badge?

Enjoy, mes enfants!
