[Jimmy Stepek]

Just to let you know that this show and a whole host of others are on my MP3 player and heading for Peru today. I'm off to walk to Machu Picchu for ClicSargent, a childrens cancer charity. If anyone wishes to contribute a pound, dollar or euro then pop along to http://www.justgiving.com/Jimmy-Stepek Hope you don't mind the plug but as my wife always says "If you dinae ask, you'll no get"

Cheers....Jimmy 
Thanks again for all the work you guys have done.

Here's the next rip from the 400 Box. This is Thursday 20 December 1979, the first night of the Festive 50. The recording starts at the beginning of the show and runs through to about 11:16 pm, cutting out just before the end of the "best of" sessions selection. There's not much Peel chat in it as he admits he's rushing along to cram everything in.

Like the 19 December 1979 show, the source is clearly AM radio again. The quality, thankfully, isn't as bad as the day before, and is probably as good as some of those 1978 shows that came out of the box earlier. The recording at least fills in the gap in our knowledge of what session tracks were aired that night before the F50 started.

Show date: 20 December 1979
Sessions: Various 'best of' sessions
Wiki: http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/20_December_1979

Next stop will be the complete show from 7th Jan 1980.
