[peel] Re: New Wave Prog 29/8/77

I've been there already - it's how I found my way to this group.  Torrents of the "8 of 17" compilation seem to be available, but the other links don't work on my PC.

I have 99% of the show.  Before the tape was chewed, I was missing only the last few seconds of Anarchy in the UK, which finished the show, plus any subsequent outro from the great man.  I'm now also missing a few seconds in the middle of both Squeeze:Model and Slaughter & The Dogs:The Bitch (not a great loss in either case, to be honest).

If of interest I also have the 1 hour punk prog from 10/12/76, complete with no breaks, and a 90 minute tape (which I guess is not complete) of John Peel '77 Sessions from 21/12/77.  

I'm sure I can figure out for myself how to do an upload, but how do I then make it available to the group?  Or will this be obvious when I do it?  What format would people prefer?

Regards
Kevin

  Welcome to the group, Kevin, and thanks for the offer!

  Thus far we already have about 90 minutes of this show, so with a bit of luck we might just be able to reconstruct the whole show between us. Have a look here: 

  http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/29_August_1977

  The best version we have is billfromnorthwales' mix of the previously available portions of the show, clocking in at just under 89 minutes.

  As for uploading, there are several options available. Most people here use mediafire, divshare or megaupload. Or there are several reliable tape rippers (with good equipment) who can probably do it for you. Let us know if you need any more help.

  Cheers,

  Eddie.

There is a small break after 15 min of side 1 (15 min before the end of side 2) where the tape got chewed and I had to repair it. This break led me to look for another copy online. It seems that there isn't one (not as complete as mine, anyway).
