sleevenotes, etc

[steve]

Hi John,

Many thanks for your message. Thanks for the info. Sorry if the wiki seems difficult. I probably should have done a simpler format for that page.

Anyway, you'll see on the page that I've just done a few lines at most for each album (some. maybe most have far longer sleevenotes), so just a taster would be fine on a message here (or direct to me). 

What's best really is if we can hunt down places where the sleevenotes are already posted online (as I've done for a few), then it's a matter of just having a taster and a "read more" link to the other page.

Of course, we could go the whole hog and have full pages up on the wiki for all (or some) of the sleevenotes from each album (and then link them to the main page). But as you say, doing a whole LP's worth could take a lot of work.

So maybe just a couple of lines in a message here would be fine and I'll sort it out from there.

Cheers,

Steve

If anyone does has a copy of any without quotes on the page (or other examples of Peel sleevenotes), please get in touch with sample snippets to be added or just go ahead put them to the page (click the red Edit button at the top):
