I recently took delivery of a bunch of my old cassettes that had been in storage for many years, and have started digitizing them. They are nearly all partial Festive Fifty shows, so no huge surprises here, but to my aged ears these generally sound better than the copies currently available, and in some cases have many of the session tracks that preceded the countdown itself. I regret I have not updated the wiki with the contents.

Someone with more time on their hands than I could probably edit these together with the copies already out there to reconstruct most of the original programmes.

I have more Festive Fifty tapes going up to 1990 in a similar style (gradually becoming more complete) if anyone would like to hear more.
