I've had an email request today from a guy called Peter Neilson of the website www.thinlizzyguide.com , who is helping Steve Hammonds at Universal try to put together a comprehensive CD set of Thin Lizzy at the BBC. He was wondering if I could help. I told him best bet is to ask around via this group! The sessions and tracks they cannot find (and I am not surprised given the dates!) are as follows:

Stuart Henry (Sounds of the seventies) 7.7.71 (TX 15.7.71)
Eire
Things Ain't Working Out Down At The Farm
- clearlt the 2 other tracks from this their first session survived somehow?

John Peel (Sounds of the seventies) 12.10.71 (TX 3.11.71)
Ray-Gun 
The Rise And Dear Demise Of The Funky


Dublin
Clifton Grange Hotel
- no details and no trace of this one!

Pete Drummond (Sounds of the seventies) 23.2.72 (TX 2.3.72)
Call The Police
Baby Face
Buffalo Gal
Sarah
- friday night is boogie night, see note below, one of dectician's logs

John Peel (Sounds of the seventies) 26.4.72 (TX 2.6.72)
Call The Police 
Things Ain't Working Out Down At The Farm
Chatting Today

Randolph's Tango David Hamilton 21.5.73 (TX 4.6.73)


I did suggest that the Pete Drummond one, being recorded at Transcription T1 in stereo by John Muir should have survived via the TOTP syndicated radio show releases.

Also, that last Peel one is documented now on the wiki thanks to the dectician logs, so it is just possible there might be a tape of this one in decktician's tapes - how is the digitising of the dectician tapes coming, or not? Anyone know? Rocker? (- I will get back to the logs over the summer, folks, promise, once I get a wee bit of time)

I think it's going to be tough to find any of the others here, but I said I would ask
